AN Oldham lorry driver is critical in hospital a week after a crash in Settle near Skipton.
The 45-year-old was driving an HGV carrying gas cylinders when his vehicle was involved in an accident with another lorry on the A65 at around 11.50am last Wednesday.
He was freed from the wreckage and flown by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary with what were described as life-threatening injuries.
The 52-year-old driver of the other vehicle was taken by air ambulance to Preston Royal Infirmary and has since been discharged.
The collision caused chaos on the major route as some of the gas cylinders spilled on to the road.
