Police Seek Witnesses After Fatal Crash Near Scarborough

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious collision on the A170 between Brompton by Sawdon and Wykeham.

It happened approximately 10.55am on Thursday 17 October and involved a grey Peugeot 407 and a DAF HGV.

The Peugeot was traveling in the direction from Wykeham towards Brompton-by-Sawdon, and the HGV was travelling in the opposite direction.
