A MAN has died after a fatal crash at a North Yorkshire stately home.
The motorist was driving his light blue BMW along The Stray from the direction of the A64 towards Slingsby when the car hit the right hand side of an historic stone arch at Castle Howard in Ryedale.
Police, fire crews and the ambulance service were called to the Carmirre Gate at 11.05am yesterday morning.
The male driver, the only occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
The crash marked the third fatality at the black spot in two years.
Speaking at the scene, Sgt Nigel Atkinson, from North Yorkshire's central area policing group, said: "The male driver of the BMW drove from the direction of the A64 at high speeds and he suffered fatal injuries. "He has yet to be identified and we are investigating the cause of his death."
