Appeal following fatal collision on the A170 earlier this month

We’re appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious collision on the A170 between Brompton by Sawdon and Wykeham.

It happened approximately 10.55am on Thursday 17 October and involved a grey Peugeot 407 and a DAF HGV.

The Peugeot was traveling in the direction from Wykeham towards Brompton-by-Sawdon, and the HGV was travelling in the opposite direction.

The occupants of the Peugeot, two women in their 80s, were taken to hospital where the passenger sadly died a few days later. Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this very sad time.

The driver of the HGV was uninjured.

The road was closed for a number of hours while we investigated the scene and to allow the vehicle(s) involved to be recovered.

We’re appealing for any witnesses to the collision, anyone who may have seen the vehicles prior to the collision, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, to contact us.

Please email our Major Collision Investigation Team at [email protected] if you can help.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and pass information to our Force Control Room.

Please quote reference 12240189387 when passing on information.
