A MAN in his fifties has died in a car crash in North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Police said a blue Mini Cooper was travelling on the A169 Malton Road near Pickering at just before 10pm on Sunday when it veered off the road.
The car broke through a fence and crashed into a local resident's garden, close to The Black Bull Inn.
A spokesman said the man in his fifties, believed to be the driver, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second man, in his twenties and believed to be the passenger, was taken to hospital with injuries which were not believed to be life-threatening.
Both men are from the Ryedale area.
The spokesman said: "North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses to the incident, or anyone who saw the vehicle shortly before the collision.
"Officers are particularly keen to trace the driver of a small, green vehicle who temporarily stopped nearby and may have witnessed the collision."
Anyone with information or who saw the vehicle prior to the crash is urged to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option two and ask for Lee Cobb.
