Bailey Chadwick: Man arrested after teenager killed in suspected hit-and-run in Pateley Bridge
A man has been arrested after a teenager was killed in a suspected hit-and-run collision in North Yorkshire. Bailey Chadwick, 19, was fatally injured on the B6265 near Pateley Bridge in the early hours of Sunday. Mr Chadwick was struck by a vehicle sometime between 1.44am and 3.10am as he walked home after working at a local pub and seeing friends in the town, which is around 26 miles (42km) north of Leeds. A man in his 20s was arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is in police custody, North Yorkshire Police said. Police asked people not to speculate on what happened on social media in order to avoid prejudicing any potential future court proceedings. Speaking close to the scene of the collision on Wednesday, his mother Dayle Knights said: "No words can express how absolutely devastated we are. The Royal Oak pub where Bailey worked said in a social media tribute: "The most loveable, caring, trustworthy, happy, smiley, beautiful young man we have ever had the honour of working with. A true gentlemen and friend." North Yorkshire Police Detective Inspector Jill Cowling said Mr Chadwick had been due to go travelling to Thailand. The teenager, she said, had "everything to look forward to in his life".

Huge wildfire rages in the New Forest: Ferocious flames tower over fire engines battling to put out blaze
A huge wildfire ripped through a historic British national park, with flames towering over the fire engines valiantly trying to put them out. The blaze broke out in Beaulieu, part of the picturesque New Forest in Hampshire, on Saturday evening. The dramatic fire caused thick black smoke to pour into the sky, throwing up soot and debris. A video shows the dramatic scale of the gorse fire with bright orange flames visible from miles away on July 12. It took firefighters two hours to dampen down the fire, which covered a patch of gorse measuring around 60 metres by 40 metres. The fire took place close to the Royal Oak pub and one of their staff was the first to call it in at around 9.30pm last night. Assistant manager James Winters described the scene as 'quite a blaze'. He said: 'There was black smoke and I thought maybe a car had been burnt out and it had caught stuff around it. 'It was one of our guys that called the fire brigade as he was leaving at about 9.30pm. He was just driving out to go home when he saw it. 'I think they got hold of it quite quickly and it was out before midnight, about 11.20pm. They did a really good job.' A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) said a specialist vehicle was used to help tackle the blaze. They said: 'On-call firefighters tackled a large gorse bush fire on Exbury Road in Beaulieu last night. 'Crews from Hardley and Beaulieu were alerted shortly before 10pm and were supported by specialist water carrier vehicle from Eastleigh. 'Hose reels and jets were used to extinguish the blaze which affected a 60m by 40m area of gorse. 'Firefighters dampened down the scene and arranged a reinspection in the morning before handing the incident over to Forestry England teams. 'HIWFRS returned to station at around midnight.' The UK has seen a large number of wildfires over the past week as the country has been engulfed by the third heatwave this year with temperatures soaring above 30C.
