Friday, 6 June 2025 15:20

An elderly man sustained fatal injuries after being struck by a van in Scarborough on Wednesday morning, prompting a police appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage.

Were you in the Seamer Road area of Scarborough on Wednesday morning?

Officers are appealing for witnesses and information, including dashcam footage, following a fatal collision on the junction of Westbourne Park with Seamer Road outside the Jehovah’s Witness Church.

It happened at around 9.25am Wednesday 4 June 2025 and involved a silver Volkswagen Transporter van and a male pedestrian aged in his 80s.

Prior to the collision the van was travelling along Seamer Road towards Falsgrave Road.

Traffic was busy that morning and officers are appealing to anyone who saw the van or the pedestrian prior to the collision, anyone who witnessed the collision itself and has not yet spoken to the police, and anyone who has dashcam footage of the pedestrian, the van or the collision, to please get in touch.

If you can help, please email mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk and quote reference 12250100283.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital, but sadly died.

The driver of the van will be interviewed in due course.
