The need for a Rillington Bypass has been reignited after a serious crash in the village on Monday 10th August 2009: as reported on the front page of the Malton & Pickering Mercury:
Miracle Escape in A64 Smash
“Three children had a miraculous escape which they emerged virtually unscathed from a car which was severely damaged in a collision involving a 44-tonne lorry on the A64 at Rillington. But the woman driver of the Toyota Yaris, believed to be in her 60s and from the Derby area, was airlifted to Scarborough Hospital by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance”.
The article continues by stating that the protective “pavement railings were flattened and a nearby house was also hit” before quoting Rillington resident Colin Wicks who has been campaigning for a bypass for many years “but in spite of plans being drawn up by the highways authorities dating back to the 1930s it has not materialised.” The front page article concludes with Councillor Brain Maud saying he “felt a bypass would be a ‘good thing’”.
