Police appeal for witnesses following a hit-and-run collision on the A59
A woman and three children suffered minor injuries by Allerton Park
North Yorkshire Police are investigating a collision on the A59 at Allerton Park yesterday (Wednesday 20th March).
A Citroen C4 Picasso was travelling from York and was approaching the roundabout at the junction (59) with the A1(M) at about 1.30pm.
As the traffic signal was at green, the driver of the Citroen moved forward, but the car was struck by another vehicle that had failed to stop for a red signal.
The vehicle that struck the Citroen did not stop after the collision, and left onto the A1(M) heading south.
The vehicle is described as a small, fairly new van. It was brown in colour, with a lot of sign-writing on it, possibly orange in colour.
A woman and three children in the Citroen received minor injuries due to the collision.
Police are appealing for eyewitnesses or anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision or the vehicles involved to come forward. Please email david.minto@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12240049666.
