Two police officers sustained minor injuries when their unmarked patrol car collided with a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) on the A64 in North Yorkshire. The incident occurred at approximately 12:14 p.m. on August 7, between York and Malton.
The officers were traveling in a Peugeot 308 responding to an "operational matter" when the collision took place near Barton Hill. The driver of the HGV was uninjured.
Following the crash, a section of the A64 was closed to allow for the air ambulance to attend the scene and for recovery operations to be conducted. Footage shared online showed the damaged police vehicle on the grass verge, with debris scattered in the surrounding foliage.
North Yorkshire Police have issued an appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage from the area around the time of the collision. Individuals with relevant information are asked to contact the police by quoting reference number 12260152304.
