Police hunt driver who fled ‘horrific’ smash which left one person unconscious in the road
This was the scene after what police described as a ‘horrific’ crash in the early hours yesterday (Sunday).
A VW Golf R crashed in to two parked cars on Cold Bath Road, Harrogate at about 3.10am.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The vehicle contained a number of passengers, at least one of whom was left unconscious on the road by the driver who is believed to have made off from the scene.
“It is only by sheer luck that the collision didn’t result in a fatality.”
The Golf was travelling towards Otley Road when the crash happened.
Police are asking residents and businesses to check their CCTV systems and video doorbells around the time of the collision as it may have captured the vehicle, the collision, and anyone making off from the scene shortly afterwards.
