Police Appeal After Fatal North York Moors Crash

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information and dashcam footage after a man died in a collision on the North York Moors.

It happened last Sunday (20th August) at around 8.20pm on the road known as Blakey Ridge between Hutton-le-Hole and Castleton. The collision occurred around one-and-a-half miles south of the Lion Inn near the turn-offs to Farndale and Rosedale.  

It involved three vehicles, a grey BMW, a grey Audi, and a grey Honda Civic all travelling in the same direction towards Hutton-le-Hole.

Sadly the driver of the Honda, a 34-year-old man from Middlesbrough, died at the scene.

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage of both the collision and the manner of driving of the three vehicles in the moments leading up to the collision.

Anyone who can help the investigation is asked to email Richard.Grey@northyorkshire.police.uk

You can also pass information by calling 101, selecting option 2 and asking for the Major Collision Investigation Team. 

Please quote reference 12230157076 when passing on information.

The drivers of the BMW and Audi, two men from Middlesbrough were arrested in connection with the incident. They have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

The road was closed to allow all emergency services to attend the collision and to allow collision investigators to examine the scene and recover the vehicles. It reopened at around 8am the following day.
