Police renew appeal as Yorkshire woman dies in hospital after Ripon crash

On Saturday (Aug 24), a blue Suzuki motorcycle ridden by a man in his 60s from Harrogate and a pedestrian, an 83-year-old woman from the Hambleton area, were involved in a crash at around 2.30pm.

The A6108, close to West Tanfield Cricket Club, in Ripon, was closed until 7.15pm on Saturday while emergency services responded to the incident, and to allow for forensic collision investigations to take place.

Her family are being supported while police enquiries continue.
