The slip roads were closed with queueing traffic due back to the Woodthorpe turn off after a crash on the A64 Westbound which was affecting traffic joining and leaving the A64.

Drivers were asked to avoid the area if at all possible and there was a diversion in place on the 840 and 843 bus routes.

The road has now reopened and traffic is returning to normal.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were called out at 10.42am and crews from Acomb and York responded to reports of a two vehicle crash involving a car and a van.
