Police have launched an appeal as a man remains in hospital fighting for his life after a hit-and-run in Bradford.
A pedestrian, a man in his 70s, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a collision with a motorcycle on Legrams Lane on Wednesday afternoon.
The Suzuki SV 650, which was travelling in the direction of the city centre, was being chased by police at the time.
This was after the rider reportedly failed to stop for officers minutes earlier on Thornton Road.
