Man, 24, bailed as Pateley hit-and-run investigation continues

Sunday, 27 July 2025 10:45

Police have increase their patrols in Pateley Bridge following the hit-and-run collision.

The man who was arrested on Thursday (24th July) in connection with last weekend’s hit-and-run collision in Pateley Bridge has been bailed.

The 24-year-old was last night released on police bail with conditions which prevent him from entering North Yorkshire.

The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday 20th July, when a car collided with 19-year-old Bailey Chadwick on the B6265 between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses.

Sadly, Bailey sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene of the collision.

Over the past week, police have increased their high visibility patrols in Pateley Bridge and the surrounding areas to offer support to local people and speak to them about any concerns which they have.

Detective Inspector Jill Cowling from North Yorkshire Police said:

“I know how emotive this incident is, particularly for those who knew Bailey or live in communities in Pateley Bridge and the surrounding areas.

“I would like to remind the public about the importance of not speculating about anything to do with what has happened over the past seven days.

“Any speculative comments on social media could be harmful to the investigation, as it may prejudice any potential future court proceedings.

“This incident has understandably had a profound effect on local people which will be felt for a long time.

“Over the past week we have increased the number of patrols in Pateley Bridge to offer reassurance to the community as the investigation has been taking place.”

Police continue to appeal for information, if you can help, please email the Major Collision Investigation Team at mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk 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.
