Officers investigating the fatal hit and run crash which killed 19-year-old Bailey Chadwick have today (30 July) made a second arrest.
The collision happened on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses, during the early hours of Sunday 20 July.
A woman in her 20s has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and remains in police custody.
This follows the arrest of a 24-year-old man last week, who has since been bailed over the weekend.
North Yorkshire Police are urging the public not to speculate on social media in order to avoid prejudicing any potential future court proceedings.
Inspector Jill Cowling who is leading the investigation said:
“This investigation has progressed which has led to us making a second arrest today.
“Our enquiries are still very much ongoing, and we are still appealing for members of the public to contact us with any relevant information.
“Specially trained officers are supporting Bailey’s family, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said:
“We continue to appeal for information, if you can help, please email the Major Collision Investigation Team 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.
