Traffic was queuing on the A1(M) this morning (Monday, 9 February).
There was heavy congestion on the northbound carriageway.
The AA reported: “Partially blocked and queueing traffic due to crash on A1(M) Northbound from A63 Great North Road to J44 A64 (York / Tadcaster).”
Crash location
It followed earlier problems when a lorry fire led to traffic being held between junction 42 at Selby Fork and junction 41 for the M62.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said they were called to the fire at 5.43am, adding: “A crew from Tadcaster alongside appliances from West Yorkshire fire and Rescue service attended a lorry which was on fire in a layby. Crews extinguished the fire and dampened down.”
The problems have now been cleared and the motorway is running normally.
