Police have released CCTV images of two cars as part of their investigation into a fatal hit-and-run in Pateley Bridge.
Officers are investigating the collision which sadly claimed the life of 19-year-old Bailey Chadwick on Sunday 20th July.
As part of their investigation, officers have been trawling through hours of CCTV footage from the night of when Bailey died.
Police are now in a position to release CCTV images of two vehicles which they need to trace in order to speak with the drivers.
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.
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 02:45am.
They then continue onto the High Street and travel down to turn right onto Low Wath Road at 02:46am.
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 02:56am.
A police spokesperson said
“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.
“Alternatively, please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or make an online report. Again, quote reference number 12250133851.”
So far, officers have arrested two people in connection with this investigation. Both have since been released as enquiries continue.
A police spokesperson added:
“We would like to remind the public about the importance of not speculating about anything to do with what has happened with this incident.
“Any speculative comments on social media could be harmful to the investigation, as it may prejudice any potential future court proceedings.”
