A ‘serious collision’ between two cars completely blocked the route in and out of New Earswick this morning (Tuesday).
Police and ambulance went to the incident, which happened at around 7.30am.
It involved two cars on Hawthorn Terrace at Willow Bank, close to the Hartrigg Oaks roundabout.
The road was blocked for around two hours, meaning traffic couldn’t enter or leave the village.
By 9.45am the route had been cleared and traffic returned to normal.
