A teenager has died after a car hit a tree in the North York Moors on Friday evening (13 August).

It happened at about 11.30pm on Bickley Gate, Langdale End, near Scarborough and involved a red Citroen C3, which left the road and collided with a tree.

Police today confirmed that one of the five teenagers in the car, an 18-year-old man, sadly died of his injuries yesterday evening.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

“His family are being supported by specially trained officers, and ask that their privacy be respected at this incredibly distressing time.”

One of the teenagers remains in hospital where they are being treated for serious injuries.

A male teenager was arrested at the scene on suspicion of drink driving, drug driving, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He has been released on police bail.
