Bradford woman killed in Apperley Bridge crash named as police make arrest

Isma Nawaz, who was 38 and from Bradford, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash yesterday (Tuesday).

It happened at about 5.40am on Harrogate Road.

Isma was driving a black Vauxhall Astra when it crashed with a parked car close to the junction with Parkin Lane.

A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a vehicle was recovered by police.

He has since been released under investigation.

West Yorkshire Police have launched a fresh appeal for witnesses or dascham footage which may help their investigation into the crash.
