Police are investigating, after two officers were taken to hospital following a road crash near Keighley.

It happened in the early hours of yesterday morning (22 June), when a van was seen driving suspiciously on Lees Lane in Haworth.

The van later collided with a marked police car, leaving the officers inside injured.
