The collision occurred on Monday 30 August shortly after 9.15pm on the A1237 and involved a red Kawasaki ZX900 sports bike and a blue Audi A3.
Officers would like to speak with anyone who saw the motorbike prior to the collision, between 7pm and 9.15pm on Monday 30 August.

Following the collision, a silver Vauxhall Corsa containing a number of young women stopped at the scene. However, they left the area before officers had a chance to take their details.
“We need to speak with the occupants of the cars and motorcyclist. I would ask them to contact North Yorkshire Police as soon as possible.”
The man who died as a result of the collision was Thomas Lee Hodgson, who was aged 26 and came from the Clifton area of York. The inquest was opened and adjourned today (Thursday 2 September0 in York.
