A woman has died after falling from a travelling camper van, police have said.

Witnesses are being sought after the 40-year-old passenger – who has not been named – fell from the vehicle just outside Ripley in North Yorkshire.

A male driver was uninjured in the incident at around 7.10pm on Sunday evening.

In a statement appealing for any motorists who may have dash cam footage of the fatal fall or the moments prior to it, a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: “A white Fiat camper van was driving on the B6165 towards Ripley from the direction of Pateley Bridge, shortly before the roundabout with the A61.

“It is believed that a 40-year-old woman fell out of the camper van as it was travelling, sustaining fatal injuries. Sadly, the woman was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
