POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision involving a car that was later reported stolen in a burglary in Leeds.

A 77-year-old woman received serious injuries when a white Vauxhall Corsa was involved in a collision with the silver Citroen DS5 that she was a passenger in shortly after 2pm on Thursday, November 21, in Cemetery Road, Yeadon, at the junction with Haw Lane.
