90 minute delays after serious collison on the A1M – The road has now reopened

The northbound carriageway of the A1M was closed at Junction 45 for Wetherby following a serious collision.

It’s reported that three people were taken to hospital after a two vehicle collision.

Those seeking an alternative route found the A64 and the outer ring road around York very congested too.

There was a 90 minute delay on approach with 10 miles of congestion heading north. Although open, southbound was very slow through the area too.

At around 1:25pm National Highways Yorkshire said: “The #A1M was open again northbound“

It will take time to clear the queues though.
