Fatal collision appeal on the A19 at Riccall near Selby

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a fatal collision which occurred on the A19 at Riccall, at the northbound junction with York Road.

It happened yesterday (Friday 1 August 2025) at around 10.30am.

A white DAF skip lorry vehicle collided with a black Nissan Juke which was joining the A19 from York Road.

Sadly, the driver of the Juke, 81-year-old John Michael Duggan from Riccall, was taken to Leeds General Infirmary by air ambulance with serious injuries but was pronounced dead a short time later.

His family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. They are being supported by specially trained officers.

The driver of the DAF skip lorry, a 42-year-old man from York, was arrested at the scene and is assisting officers with their enquiries.

The road was closed for several hours to allow officers to investigate the scene, and the vehicles involved to be safely recovered.

We are 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.

If you can help, please email [email protected]. Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101.
