There have been two serious crashes in York this evening (Monday).
Both were around the A64 south of York.
Tadcaster Road was blocked, just off the A64, near Askham Bar.
And there was a collision on the A64 itself, near the junction with the A1237 ring road at Askham Bryan. Three cars were involved in this one.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance has been seen at the nearby Park and Ride, and the police helicopter has also been deployed.
One driver from Woodthorpe posted on Facebook: “Chaos coming into York off A64 near Askham bar park and ride. Hope everyone is safe.”
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said at 6.45pm: “There are very long delays in the area of the A64 south of York.
“We’re working as fast as we can to ensure everyone is safe – but in the meantime, please follow local traffic alerts, and be patient.
“If you can, we recommend you find alternative routes for your journeys this evening.”
They later issued this update: “All road clsoures have now been lifted – thank you for your patience.”
