PART of the A64 was closed for two-and-a-half hours after a spillage of goats milk is thought to have contributed to a three-car accident.

The crash happened on the westbound section of the road, near the Hopgrove roundabout, York, at noon yesterday.

Sergeant Andy Farrar, of York Police, said they received a call that a lorry had spilt goats milk on the road and seconds later the accident happened. No-one was injured in the accident.
