    A 17-year-old boy has been killed after a car collided with a wall near Brimham Rocks, near Pateley Bridge.

    The teenager, who has not been named, was a passenger in a grey Peugeot 107 when it hit the wall on Brimham Rocks Road at 6.50pm last night.

    North Yorkshire Police today appealed for witnesses and information.

    The force said in a statement:

    "Tragically, a 17-year-old boy, a passenger in the 107 died at the scene of the collision. The boy’s family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
    "Three other occupants were left with minor injuries and the driver is helping with the police with their enquiries.
    "The road was closed for several hours to allow investigation work to take place at the scene of the collision."


    Police are urging anyone who saw the collision, or the car involved prior to the collision, to get in touch.

    Officers think that the car left the Fulford area of York at 11am on the same day and travelled to Brimham Rocks via Kirk Hammerton, Green Hammerton and Knaresborough.

    They are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has captured any dashcam footage of the vehicle prior to the collision.

    You can email Nicola.Peters@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101 and ask for Nicola Peters.

    Quote incident number 12230173187.
