A yellow VW Up! car was following behind and crashed into the rear of the Porsche with both vehicles coming off the road to the nearside.

The woman driving the VW suffered a serious hand injury which required medical attention.

Sadly, her 90-year-old passenger from York was injured and she died a few days after the collision.

The man driving the Porsche and the woman passenger escaped injury.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Witnesses to the collision, motorists with relevant dash-cam footage or anyone who recalls seeing either the black Porsche Cayenne or the yellow VW Up! prior the incident, are urged to come forward as soon as possible.”
