THREE people had to be taken to hospital with injuries following a serious crash on a major road in North Yorkshire.

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses to the serious road traffic collision (RTC) that occurred on the A1 motorway north bound carriageway at Boroughbridge.

The incident happened at around 10.20pm on Monday (May 8) and involved a blue BMW 1 Series and a white Vauxhall Astra which were both travelling on the north bound carriageway.
