A police probe has been launched after a elderly cyclist was found seriously injured on a rural road.

Officers are appealing for information after the 82-year-old man was discovered in Aberdeenshire at 3pm on Saturday July 20.

Emergency services were alerted by members of the public who came across the man on the B9170 Inverurie to New Deer road beside Balquhindachy Farm.

The cyclist, who has life-threatening injuries, had on a red helmet, yellow jacket, and blue tracksuit bottoms with reflective strips.

He was riding a blue coloured bicycle with black panniers attached to the front and rear.

The man remains hospital in a serious but stable condition.
