Pickering area: A169 serious injury collision appeal

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious injury collision on the A169 near Saltersgate Bank, Pickering, at around 2.50pm on Sunday (25 August 2024).

It involved a black Peugeot 2008 SUV and two grey motorcycles – a Yamaha Tracer and a Kawasaki KLE – that were all travelling northbound towards RAF Fylingdales, and a red Suzuki Celerio car travelling southbound.

One of the motorcyclists, a man aged in his 30s from the Selby area, was taken to James Cook University Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

The road was closed until 10pm while emergency services responded and to allow for Forensic Collision Investigations to take place.

We ask that members of the public do not speculate on the circumstances of the collision as this may affect court proceedings in due course.

Our thanks go to members of the public who stopped to assist at the scene.

Anyone that may have seen any of the vehicles prior to the incident, witnesses to the collision itself or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, are urged to email  [email protected] or call 101, option 2, and ask for Jack Dodsworth. Please quote reference number 12240154688 when providing details.
