A64 reopens after crash near Tadcaster

The waste truck and nine-seater Ford Transit minibus crashed at around 10.45am and left one man in his thirties injured.

He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary by air ambulance with his injuries.

North Yorkshire Police said the accident took place on the eastbound carriageway near Tadcaster, just past the River Wharfe.

A full road closure was then put in place on the road at the A1M Bramham until it was reopened at 1.22pm.

The road closure caused large tailbacks as police attempt to clear stationary traffic.
