Woman arrested after teen killed in hit-and-run

A further arrest has been made in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in North Yorkshire, police have said.

Bailey Chadwick, 19, was struck by a vehicle on the B6265, between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses, as he was walking home from work in the early hours of 20 July.

Last week, a 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and was bailed over the weekend.

North Yorkshire Police has confirmed a woman in her 20s has also been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and currently remains in police custody.

Insp 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."
