SNOW and ice have caused tens of vehicles to be stranded on the A169 Whitby Road over Christmas.
The road has now been closed between Iburndale Lane, Sleights near Whitby and the Lockton turnoff near Pickering.
The drivers and passengers of the stranded cars have been rescued, police said, and urged drivers not to travel unless it was absolutely necessary. The road is unlikely to be opened before tomorrow.
