scarborough's Seamer Road was closed in both directions after a serious crash, leaving a main route in North Yorkshire blocked while emergency services dealt with the incident. North Yorkshire Police urged drivers to find alternative routes.
Police said the route was thought to be closed for some time. The closure affects a road used to move through Scarborough, so drivers headed that way need to plan around the disruption rather than approach from either direction.

The force described the incident as a serious crash on a main road in North Yorkshire. It did not say what caused the crash or how many vehicles or people were involved.
For drivers, the immediate step is to avoid Seamer Road and take another route until the road reopens. The police warning makes clear that the closure was not expected to be brief, so trips across Scarborough may need extra time and a different route.
