Local reports say that there was one casualty, a young man. Some reports say he collided with a lamppost, but that has not been confirmed.

Police cordoned off Foxwood Lane for several hours. It has now reopened.

At 10.35pm on Thursday a North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are currently at the scene of a serious road traffic collision on Foxwood Lane, York.

“The collision happened at around 7.40pm this evening (3 August) and involved a single motorcyclist.

“An investigation is currently underway into the circumstances.

“If you have any information that could assist us with this investigation, please call North Yorkshire Police on 101 quoting reference 455 of 3/8.

“We would ask if drivers could please avoid Foxwood Lane (from Thanet Road to Askham Lane), as the road will remain closed whilst officers investigate the cause of this accident.”
