Police investigating the fatal hit-and-run in North Yorkshire last month have today release images of two cars they want to trace.
The collision claimed the life of 19-year-old Bailey Chadwick as he walked home on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses, in the early hours of Sunday 20 July.
Officers have been trawling through hours of CCTV footage from the night Bailey died.
Now they want to talk to the drivers of these vehicles.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson 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.”
- The two vehicles are first seen passing through the village of Wilsill on the B6165 travelling west towards Pateley Bridge at 2.43am
- They continue towards Pateley Bridge and are picked up by cameras on Ripon Road at 2.45am
- They then continue onto the High Street and travel down to turn right onto Low Wath Road at 2.46am
- Finally, one of the vehicles is then seen to return via the same route starting at Low Wath Road at 2.53am and passing through Wilsill at 2.56am.
Police have arrested two people in connection with this investigation. Both have since been released as enquiries continue.
