A 19-year-old motorist has sadly died following a three-vehicle crash[1] on a major East Yorkshire road.
The teenager was driving a Mini when it was in a collision with a Ford Fiesta and Ford Tourneo close to the Allerthorpe roundabout on the A1079, near Pocklington[2]. The crash happened at around 3.30pm on Friday which left the road closed for some time.
The teenager was initially reported by police as having been taken to hospital with "suspected minor injuries" but he passed away on Sunday morning. Another man suffered serious injuries in the crash and remains in hospital although his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
A spokesman for Humberside Police[4] said: “Officers investigating a three-vehicle road traffic collision on the A1079 York Road, Pocklington at around 3.30pm on Friday, July 14, are appealing for witnesses.
“It is reported that a silver Mini One, black Ford Fiesta and blue Ford Tourneo were in collision near the Allerthorpe roundabout. The road was closed to allow emergency services to work safely.
