A witness said the police dogs unit was at the scene, as well as the force helicopter.

A set of traffic lights has been destroyed and the road was blocked between the scene of the accident and the BP garage on Hull Road.

A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said:

  • Police were contacted at 3am Monday 13 January 2020 to a report of a single vehicle collision on Hull Road in York.

    A dark coloured Range Rover sport had collided with the traffic lights near to B&Q and the driver had left the scene.

    A search was undertaken and the driver was later located nearby and taken to York Hospital as a precaution.

    A 30-year-old man from York was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and from failing to stop at the scene of an incident.

    He currently remains in police custody.
