A CRASH in Heworth, York, caused delays for motorists after the road was closed to recover the vehicles.

The accident happened at Heworth Green at about noon yesterday.

It involved a silver Skoda Fabia and a grey Citroen C5.

Neither of the drivers, who were both men and from York, was seriously injured.

But long queues developed as police closed Stockton Lane to allow the cars to be recovered.

Malton Road at its junction with Dodsworth Avenue was also shut, as was Mill Lane, to prevent traffic from feeding into the already congested roads.

Police said the roads were reopened at 2pm.
