The Yorkshire Air Ambulance was called out to a single vehicle collision which has closed the A1M in North Yorkshire today (Thursday).

It left the road closed southbound from Junction 49 Ripon Road (Thirsk / Dishforth) to Junction 48 A6055 (Boroughbridge) between 9am and 2.30pm.

All lanes have now reopened.

Shortly before midday, Highways England said: “Please be aware this incident is currently causing about four miles of congestion on the A1M southbound between J51 Leeming Bar and J49 Dishforth adding at least 30 minutes to normal journey times.”
