Man bailed over hit-and-run death

Bailey Chadwick's family said they could not believe he would not "come home" again

A man arrested in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a 19-year-old pub worker has been released on bail.

Bailey Chadwick was hit by a car in the early hours of 20 July on the B6265 between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses after finishing a shift at the nearby Royal Oak pub.

He died at the scene of the collision, North Yorkshire Police said.

A 24-year-old man who was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving was released on police bail on Sunday "with conditions that prevent him from entering North Yorkshire", the force said.

North Yorkshire Police said it had increased patrols in Pateley Bridge and the surrounding areas in the past week to offer support to local people.

Det Insp Jill Cowling said the incident had had a profound effect on local people.

She said: "I know how emotive this incident is, particularly for those who knew Bailey or live in communities in Pateley Bridge and the surrounding areas.

"I would like to remind the public about the importance of not speculating about anything to do with what has happened over the past seven days.

"Any speculative comments on social media could be harmful to the investigation, as it may prejudice any potential future court proceedings."
