A PEDESTRIAN suffered serious injuries in a collision with a heavy goods vehicle on a major route in Guiseley.
The A65 (Otley Road) in Guiseley has been shut following the collision which took place just after 10am this morning.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Shortly after 10.13am today, police were contacted by the ambulance service to report a road traffic collision involving a pedestrian and a heavy goods vehicle, on Otley Road in Guiseley, Leeds.
"A man in his eighties was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
"Road closures are in place at this time, whilst enquiries remain ongoing."
One traffic alert reported: "The A65 Otley Road is blocked both ways and there is slow traffic due to an accident from B6153 Park Road to Springfield Road."
The road closure has diverted bus services in the area.
