At around 5.05pm on Thursday 16 July 2020 a black Suzuki motorbike and a double decker bus collided near to the entrance of the Blue Dolphin holiday park. Very sadly the motorcyclist, a man in his twenties from Filey, died at the scene. His family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
