Police appeal to mechanics
Police are are appealing to garages, body shops and mechanics that may have repaired a silver car with no rear bumper as part of their investigation into a serious collision.
The North Yorkshire force said that at around 4.40pm on Sunday, January 6 a motorcyclist was travelling along the B1222 near Peckfield, Sherburn-in-Elmet when they were involved in a collision with a car at the junction with the A63.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, received serious injuries which required hospital treatment but has since been released.
Officers are keen to speak with anyone who either witnessed the collision or who believes they may know the vehicle involved to contact them with information.
