A Long Lee teenager has died in a road accident.

Nicky Christopher Roberts, 18, was killed when the Ford Escort he was driving was involved in a collision with a Land Rover at Rylstone, near Skipton.

Mr Roberts was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, last Thursday.

The crash, in which two teenage girls in the Escort were also injured, happened at 5.43pm as the car was travelling on the B6265 towards Skipton.

A North Yorkshire police spokesman said 16-year-old Candice Church, of Skipton, suffered facial injuries and Victoria Halliwell, also in her teens, of Linton Falls, near Grassington, suffered a broken collar bone.

The driver of the Land Rover Discovery was Angela Smith, 25. She was airlifted by helicopter to Airedale Hospital at Steeton, with non-life threatening injuries.

Investigating officers are keen to speak to people who may have witnessed the crash.
