Police Appeal After Filey Pensioner's Death

Officers are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a collision that led to the death of an 80-year-old woman in Filey.

It happened on Station Road at around 9am on Friday 28 February.

The ambulance service initially attended a report that a woman had fallen. She sadly died in hospital later that day.

Further enquiries have led Police to believe the woman’s injuries were caused by a collision with a vehicle and that the vehicle did not stop at the scene.

The woman was wearing a distinctive red coat and walking with the assistance of a walking aid.

The vehicle believed to be involved was a white van.

Officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage who may have seen the woman in the time leading up to and being involved in the collision.

If you can help the investigation, please email the Major Collision Investigation Team at MCIT@northyorkshire.police.uk.

Or call 101 and pass information for incident number 12250037457.

A man has been arrested in connection with the collision and is in police custody for questioning.
