A teenager motorcyclist died today in a crash on the A19 in North Yorkshire.

The incident happened at about 06.20am today (Monday) towards Thirsk, between Great Thirkleby and Carlton Husthwaite.

Two vehicles were involved – a white KTM motorcycle and a grey Seat Terraco.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Sadly, the rider of the motorbike, an 18-year-old male, died at the scene of the incident.

“Both the driver of the car and passenger were taken to hospital with minor injuries.”

The road was closed in both directions until about 12.30pm as police investigated the circumstances.

Officers are now appealing for witnesses.

“Anyone who witnessed the collision, or anyone who was driving in the area on the A19 around the time of the RTC who had a dashcam fitted to their vehicle, is asked to get in touch,” said the spokesperson.

“We are especially keen to hear from anyone who was travelling towards Thirsk.”

If you can help, please contact North Yorkshire Police – details below.
