A teenager has died after a road crash in South Kirkby.

The 19-year-old man was riding a motorbike which was heading along Broad Lane.

His bike was in collision with a grey Ford Focus going in the opposite direction in the incident at 15:00 on Monday.

It's believed the dead man may have been travelling behind another bike.

The first motorcycle did not stop after the incident.

Police had earlier received reports of bikes being ridden anti-socially and are now investigating if these were the same motorcycles.

A 17-year-old boy has since been arrested and been released on police bail.

Otley is the opening event of the Men's British Cycling Elite Circuit Race Series and the penultimate round of the Women's British Road Series.

Ahead of the race I spoke to Town Mayor, councillor Ian Jackson:

Labour's Paula Sherriff said the "horrendous" leaflets, which had gone to her constituents in Dewsbury, said Mrs Cox was wrong to help people who may go on to join Islamic State, also known as Isis.

Home Office Minister Karen Bradley committed to meeting Ms Sherriff to discuss the "utterly unacceptable" leaflets and to look at what "specific action" can be taken against the BNP.

When political managers and spin doctors are fighting one of the tightest elections in living memory they will often go to the point of absurdity to ensure television pictures tell the message they want.

With the EU Referendum stubbornly stuck at neck-and-neck for weeks before we went to the polls, stand-offs between TV crews and party organisers demanding to "check the shot" before their politician steps off the battle bus became an everyday occurrence.

Even with that level of scrutiny it did not always go to plan when the politicians came to Yorkshire. Find out more about what happened in my latest blog.

Castleford Tigers assistant coach Danny Orr has told us that injury-plagued forward Frankie Mariano is still capable of earning himself a new deal.
