Pateley hit-and-run: driver bailed and banned from entering North Yorkshire
The man who was arrested on Thursday (24 July 2025) in connection with last weekend’s fatal hit and run collision in Pateley Bridge has been bailed.
North Yorkshire Police said in an update this morning (July 27), the 24-year-old was released on police bail last night.
His bail conditions prevent him from entering North Yorkshire.
Bailey Chadwick, 19, sustained fatal injuries when he was struck by a vehicle on the B6265 between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses in the early hours of last Sunday.
Detective Inspector Jill Cowling said:
I know how emotive this incident is, particularly for those who knew Bailey or live in communities in Pateley Bridge and the surrounding areas.
I would like to remind the public about the importance of not speculating about anything to do with what has happened over the past seven days. Any speculative comments on social media could be harmful to the investigation, as it may prejudice any potential future court proceedings.
This incident has understandably had a profound effect on local people which will be felt for a long time. Over the past week we have increased the number of patrols in Pateley Bridge to offer reassurance to the community as the investigation has been taking place.
