North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a fatal collision on the A64 near Hopgrove on the outskirts of York.

It happened at around 3.05pm on Tuesday (5 December 2023) at the junction with Towthorpe Moor Lane and Common Lane.

The collision involved a blue Mazda 2 car that was travelling on Common Lane towards the A64, and a blue DAF horse box heading westbound on A64 from Malton towards York.
