A bridge has been reopened after a car crashed into a bridge today (Friday).

North Yorkshire Police closed the Brayton canal bridge in Selby off Brayton Lane while emergency services dealt with the incident.

They were called in at about 12.45pm today after a car left the road.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews from Selby responded to a report of a single vehicle road traffic collision where the vehicle left the road and ended in a ditch as a result of the driver experiencing a medical episode.

“Crews removed one door from the vehicle to enable the female casualty to walk out of the vehicle. The casualty was transported to hospital via road ambulance.”
