A CRASH on a major road through North Yorkshire that led to nine-mile long queues has been cleared.

National Highways posted on X at 2.41pm today (May 30) to say that there were lane closures on the A1(M) southbound, between Bramham and the M1, near Aberford.

The post said: "There is currently approx. 9 miles of congestion on approach, causing delays of 50 minutes above usual journey times."

All lanes have since been reopened, and traffic is moving freely again.
