Bailey Chadwick: Man charged over hit-and-run crash which killed Yorkshire teenager
A man has been charged with two offences following a hit-and-run which killed a teenager in Yorkshire earlier this year.
The 25-year-old man, who has not been named by police, is due in court on February 12, 2026, charged with driving a motor vehicle when over the prescribed limit and using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without insurance.
The man is continuing to be investigated into a possible charge of death by dangerous driving following the death of 19-year-old Bailey Chadwick, who died following the crash on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses on July 20.
Bailey was walking home during the early hours of the morning when he was hit by a car and died.
Following the update, his family said: “As we move towards Christmas this remains an incredibly difficult time for us, we kindly ask for privacy while we continue to grieve.
“We fully support the ongoing police investigation and trust that the process will bring justice for us, Bailey’s family”.
A woman in her 20s, who was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice also remains under investigation.
North Yorkshire Police said it is continuing to appeal for information relating to the crash.
