Two people were taken to hospital after a serious crash on the A64 near Castle Howard on Friday afternoon.

Two people were taken to hospital after a serious crash on the A64 at Barton Hill, near Castle Howard, in North Yorkshire at about 1.40pm on Friday, October 16. Emergency services, including an air ambulance, police and paramedics, were called to the scene.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service confirmed that two patients were conveyed to hospital by road. An ambulance service spokesperson said: "We received an emergency call at 1.37pm this afternoon to report a road traffic collision on the A64. A number of ambulance resources were dispatched to the scene, including two ambulances and the air ambulance, and two patients were conveyed to hospital by road."

The A64 was closed in both directions following the collision but has since reopened. The incident appears to be separate from another serious crash that occurred earlier on Friday morning on Skipton Road and St John's Road in Harrogate, where one person was taken to hospital.
