Emergency services are currently dealing with a serious HGV collision on the southbound carriageway of the A19 about one mile from the Osmotherley junction.
The southbound carriageway is expected to remain closed for several hours with diversions in place. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.

The northbound carriageway reopened at 12.25pm.
Both incidents were reported at around 10.30am today (Wednesday 1 February 2023).
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to make a report via the North Yorkshire Police website or by calling 101, option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room.
