Please avoid the A1041 between Selby and Camblesforth

Motorists asked to avoid the A1041 while we continue to work at the scene of a serious collision.

The road was closed earlier today following the single vehicle collision at 10.20 am this morning.

There is currently a build up traffic as motorists try to take short cuts including a coach that has become stuck.

The best route to take is via the A19 to avoid becoming stuck in tailbacks. Please avoid the A1041 between Selby and Camblesforth.

The road is expected to remain closed for several more hours while our collision investigation team examine the scene of the collision.

We are appealing to anyone who witnessed the collision which happened at around 10.20am on 14 February when a Ford Focus that was travelling northbound, left the road between the Black Dog pub and Barlow Road junction before colliding with a tree.

The two occupants, a woman in her 60s and a woman in her 70s were seriously injured and taken to hospital where they both remain at this time.

If you were travelling along the A1041 this morning and either saw the Focus prior to the collision, witnessed the collision or have any dashcam footage, please get in touch.
