A MAN who died in a head-on road crash last week has been named as a 40-year-old man from Whitby, North Yorkshire.
Daniel Schneider was driving a red Peugeot 205 which collided with a black Vauxhall Astra on the A171 just outside Ugthorpe, near Whitby, shortly before 6am on Thursday.
He died at the scene. An inquest into his death has been opened and adjourned.
The Astra driver, a 41-year-old man from Brotton, escaped with minor injuries, despite severe damage to his car.
Witnesses to the crash, or the manner of driving of either vehicle immediately before, are asked to contact Sergeant John Clayton on 0845-6060247.
