    North Yorkshire Police has urged people to stop sharing footage on social media of the crash that killed 17-year-old Alfie Lovett.

    Alfie, from York, was a passenger in a Peugeot 107 which crashed into a wall on Brimham Rocks Road, near Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale, on Tuesday at 6.50pm.

    Three other people in the car were left with minor injuries and the driver has been helping police with their enquiries.

    The constabulary issued a statement this afternoon saying it was "aware of numerous video clips that are circulating which show footage from the fatal road traffic collision at Brimham Rocks on Tuesday evening".

    The statement added:

    "Officers are urgently asking anyone who is in possession of any of this video footage to save it and immediately make contact with the police as this could be critical to the investigation.
    "To preserve the integrity of the investigation and out of respect to Alfie’s family officers are also asking that anyone who has any of the footage refrains from sharing it with anyone else other than the police."


    Police urged anyone with video footage to email general.enquiries@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101.

    Quote reference number 12230173187.
