Driffield Man Dies After Motorbike Collision

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a fatal collision on the road between Coulton and Yearsley, west of Malton yesterday.

At about 3.40pm on Wednesday 30 April 2025, North Yorkshire Police received a report of a collision on a minor road between Coulton and Yearsley, involving a red Triumph motorcycle.

The rider, a 75-year-old man from Driffield, was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene. His family have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Prior to the collision the red Triumph was heading towards Hovingham, in company with a blue Aprilia motorcycle which stopped at the scene.

Officers say:

"If you saw the motorcycles prior to the collision, or witnessed the collision itself and have not yet spoken to police, please contact us. We are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision who has a dashcam fitted to their vehicle.

Please email mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk or phone 101 and ask for DC 918 Ed Drake - quote reference 12250076547."
