THE condition of a pensioner who was taken to hospital by helicopter after his car crashed into a lorry on a road outside York is now “critical”.
The 82-year-old man, who has not yet been named, was driving a Ford Focus on the A1079 near Dunnington, when he collided with a green tipper lorry at about 6.30am on Tuesday.
He was taken by helicopter to Leeds General Infirmary with serious injuries, but a police spokesman yesterday said his condition had deteriorated.
Meanwhile, an 84-year-old man who suffered serious facial injuries after he crashed his moped in Haxby Road at about 9.45am on Wednesday is in a stable condition in York Hospital.
Witnesses to either incident are asked to phone police on 0845 6060247.
