Pedestrian in Serious Condition After Scarborough Collision

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious road traffic collision on Castle Road in Scarborough on Sunday.

It happened near to the junction of Regent Street at around 1.15pm on Sunday (8 September 2024) and involved a black BMW X5 and a pedestrian, a local man aged in his 70s.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital by ambulance where he remains in a serious condition.

The driver of the BMW X5, a 43-year-old man from Scarborough, was arrested in connection with the investigation. He was later released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.

The road was closed until 7pm while officers investigated the scene and to allow the vehicle involved to be recovered.

North Yorkshire police say:

"We are appealing for any witnesses to the collision, anyone who may have seen the vehicle or pedestrian prior to the collision, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, to contact us.

Please email MCIT@northyorkshire.police.uk if you can assist.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for the Major Collision Investigation Team.
