POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an accident which threw one of York's busiest roads into chaos.
Rush hour traffic was disrupted yesterday morning when a white Ford Iveco lorry was involved in a collision with a green articulated lorry on the A64.
The accident happened at 7.17am on the eastbound stretch of the A64 between the A19 junction at Fulford and the A1079 junction at Grimston Bar.
The Iveco lorry went off the road and ended up on its side in a ditch leaving the driver very shaken, but uninjured. The green articulated lorry did not stop and police believe the driver may not have been aware of the collision.
The police are now appealing for anyone who drives or owns a green articulated lorry and has found damage to the rear of the vehicle to phone Central Area Road Policing on 01904 669884.
Diesel from the lorry spilled into a local watercourse, and the road was closed for some time as the vehicle was recovered.
