POLICE in North Yorkshire are investigating an "off-roading" car incident in which a man died.

The 37-year-old is believed to have been involved in an off-road incident in a field by Sicklinghall, between Harrogate and Wetherby this morning.

He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary suffering from serious injuries, from which he died a short time later.

The dead man, who came from West Yorkshire, has yet to be named.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the incident and last night they were being interviewed by detectives in Harrogate.
