Main article content
We're investigating a collision on the A59 at Allerton Park, at the A1(M), junction 59, yesterday afternoon.
It happened at about 1.30pm on Wednesday 20 March 2024.
A Citroen C4 Picasso was travelling on the A59 from York, approaching the roundabout at the junction with the A1(M).
As the traffic signal was at green, the driver of the Citroen moved forward, but the car was struck by another vehicle that had failed to stop for a red signal.
The vehicle that struck the Citroen did not stop after the collision, and left onto the A1(M) heading south.
The vehicle is described as a small, fairly new van. It was brown in colour, with a lot of sign-writing on it, possibly orange in colour.
As a result of the collision, a woman and three children in the Citroen received minor injuries.
We are appealing for eyewitnesses or anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision or the vehicles involved to come forward. Please email [email protected] or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12240049666.
