THE A64 has been re-opened following a two-vehicle crash which closed the road.

A police spokesperson said: "The two-vehicle collision occurred on the eastbound carriageway of the A64 at Barton Hill, near the Castle Howard turn-off, at around 2.55pm. 

"It involved a black Peugeot 208 and a grey Mercedes GLC estate.

"Paramedics assisted with minor injuries."

The scene was clear by 4.25pm.

However the incident has caused significant delays for vehicle traffic eastbound including bus services.
