Officers are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a man died on the A64 at Malton on Saturday night.
At around 5.10pm a man left the bridge on Scarborough Road and was pronounced dead a short time later by paramedics.
A number of people, who either witnessed the incident or who had dashcam footage of the events surrounding it, spoke with officers at the scene.
However, officers are encouraging anyone else who was travelling in either direction along the A64 or Scarborough Road between the A64 and Norton at around 5pm to contact them as you may be able to assist with their investigation.
Officers are particularly keen to speak with anyone who has a dashcam fitted in their vehicle.
They say this has been an extremely upsetting incident for all involved and their thoughts are with the man’s family at this time.
They say they also know the impact an incident of this nature can have on those who witnessed it or assisted in the aftermath and would strongly encourage those people to speak with someone and, if needed, to seek advice from a professional.
Road closures were in place until around 1am.
If you are able to help officers with their investigation, please provide reference NYP-15012022-0367 when providing information.
