On Wednesday 9th September, a hearse collided head-on with a lorry at Swanbeck Bridge, near West Knapton – just on the outskirts of Rillington village. As reported in The Press, the driver of the hearse and his passenger “had to freed from the wreckage by fire fighters [who had to cut off the roof of their vehicle] before being taken to hospital with serious hip and leg injuries.” The lorry was “completely written off”.
The accident was reported in the September 16th Edition of the Malton & Pickering Mercury, describing the incident and connecting it with the accident in Rillington only weeks earlier: long-time bypass campaigner Colin Wicks was quoted, saying “sadly this reinforces my view that it is badly needed. It is awful for those involved but something must be done”.
