A 55-year-old man is in a critical condition after the bike he was riding collided with a car in Sheffield.

Police said the cyclist collided with a white Mazda 3 on Rivelin Valley Road, between Hollins Lane and Hagg Hill, at about 18:00 BST on Friday.

The car was travelling towards Sheffield and the cyclist was going in the opposite direction.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries and remains in a life-threatening condition, police said.

The driver of the Mazda, a 31-year-old man, is assisting officers with their enquiries.
