Pateley Bridge hit-and-run: Police release CCTV images of two cars
Police investigating a fatal hit-and-run in Pateley Bridge have released CCTV images of two cars which the force is looking to trace.
Bailey Chadwick, 19, died after being struck by a vehicle on the B6265 between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses in the early hours of Sunday, July 20.
In a statement issued this afternoon, North Yorkshire Police said it was looking to trace the drivers of two vehicles which have been identified on CCTV on the night of the fatal hit-and-run.
Both cars are pictured on CCTV below.
The force said:
There is currently no indication that the two vehicles have been involved in the collision, but the drivers may have seen something of relevance as we believe that they were in the area at around the same time that the collision occurred.
CCTV released by North Yorkshire Police which shows the cars.
Police have also released the following details on the vehicles:
- The two vehicles are first seen passing through the village of Wilsill on the B6165 traveling west towards Pateley Bridge at 02:43hours.
- They continue towards Pateley Bridge and are picked up by cameras on Ripon Road at 02:45hours.
- They then continue onto the High Street and travel down to turn right onto Low Wath Road at 02:46hours.
- Finally, one of the vehicles is then seen to return via the same route starting at Low Wath Road at 02:53hours and passing through Wilsill at 02:56hours
The force added in its statement:
If one of these vehicles belongs to you, or you know who they belong to, or can provide any information about this incident then please contact us. Please email the Major Collision Investigation Team at mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12250133851.

It comes as North Yorkshire Police last week released a woman in her 20s who had been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. She was released under investigation.
The news came just days after a 24-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving last week, was bailed and banned from entering North Yorkshire.
The force has urged the public not to speculate on social media to avoid prejudicing any potential future court proceedings.
