Several serious crashes have closed or disrupted roads across Yorkshire, with emergency services responding and motorists warned to avoid affected areas.
Multiple serious crashes have disrupted traffic across Yorkshire over three days, prompting emergency service responses and road closures.
On 11 November, a serious collision on Scalby Road in Scarborough between The Rosette and Coldyhill Lane led to road closures. North Yorkshire Police warned motorists to avoid the area. The force said traffic would not be able to access the road south past Danes Dyke or north of Coldyhill Lane, with no access from Hackness Road to Scalby Road. Large vehicles were diverted to Burniston Road while emergency services responded.
On 12 November, a three-vehicle crash occurred on Wetherby Road near Walton, Wetherby. Police, fire and ambulance crews attended the scene and the road was closed while emergency services made it safe.
On 13 November, a serious crash closed the M18 southbound near Doncaster. National Highways reported that the road was likely to be closed for some time. Traffic caught within the closure was being released via the rear of the queue. Drivers faced 20-minute delays and two miles of congestion on the A1(M) south of Waterside, with an average speed limit of 15mph. The AA reported delays of four minutes on the A1(M) heading towards the M18.
The same day, severe delays were reported on York's Ring Road, with the AA describing conditions as severe. Delays peaked at 13 minutes on the eastbound carriage near Huntington Road and eight minutes westbound near the Poppleton roundabout. There were also delays on the A64 towards Malton and the coast, though the cause of these delays had not been confirmed.
