BBC<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nA teenage girl has died and a second has been seriously injured in a crash involving a minibus and a car in North Yorkshire, police have said. <\/p>\n Emergency services were called to Toulston Lane, near Tadcaster Grammar School, at about 12:30 GMT after reports a white Mercedes Sprinter minibus had collided with a Hyundai i10.<\/p>\n The force said the bus had been carrying nine passengers, aged 16 to 18, as well as the driver at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n North Yorkshire Police said the driver of the Hyundai, a 40-year-old woman, had been arrested in connection with the investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The other passengers and the man driving the minibus received treatment at hospital for minor injuries, the force added. <\/p>\n The minibus had been travelling towards Sherburn when the light-coloured Hyundai entered Toulston Lane from Rudgate, a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n Toulston Lane is closed to traffic while police inquiries continue.<\/p>\n In a message sent to parents, Tadcaster Grammar School said it would be shut on Tuesday as the site “will not be safe for students”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Posting on social media, Sir Alec Sherbrook, MP for Wetherby & Easingwold, called the news “desperately sad”.<\/p>\n “The thoughts of prayers of our community are with the families of those affected,” he added. <\/p>\n Speaking from the scene earlier BBC Look North reporter Olivia Richwald said there was a large cordon in place covering three roads close to Tadcaster Grammar School.<\/p>\n She said: “We’ve seen two vehicles behind that cordon – one a small pale-coloured car with what looks like a dented front bumper.<\/p>\n “The second is larger, perhaps a van or a small bus. It is behind a tarpaulin.<\/p>\n “Police remain guarding the scene tonight.”<\/p>\n She added: “The road is quiet and it’s not a residential area so there isn’t anyone around, except the odd car which is driving up to the road closure signs and turning around.” <\/p>\n Anyone who witnessed the collision or has relevant footage of what happened is asked to contact police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![](\"https:\/\/static.files.bbci.co.uk\/bbcdotcom\/web\/20251120-101800-81b2dab7dc-web-2.34.1-2\/grey-placeholder.png\")
