Malton Van Driver Dies in A64 Collision

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a fatal road traffic collision which occurred today on the A64 near York.

It happened at approximately 2.50am this morning (Monday 20 October 2025) on the eastbound carriageway of the A64 between the junctions with the A1036 (Tadcaster Road) and the A19 (Fulford Interchange).

It involved a Ford Transit Connect van in white which collided with a stationary Volvo HGV which was parked in a layby at the side of the carriageway.

Following the collision, the driver of the Transit van died at the scene of the collision. He has been named as Scott Proudlock, 43 who was from the Malton area. The HGV driver was uninjured and is assisting officers with their enquiries.

The A64 was initially closed in both directions but the Westbound carriageway re-opened at 7.15am. The eastbound carriageway remained closed to allow for collision investigation work and recovery to take place. It was then opened again at 11.15am.

North Yorkshire Police are now appealing for any witnesses to the collision, anyone who may have seen the transit van prior to the collision, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, to contact us.

Officers say:

"If you can help, please email mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk . Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for Chris Garbutt.

Please quote reference 12250198149 when passing on information."
