A person has been taken to hospital after a crash on a key route in North Yorkshire, the ambulance service has said.

The eastbound carriageway of the A64, heading towards the coast, had been closed near Malton but has now re-opened, according to National Highways.

A spokesperson for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service said they were sent to a single-vehicle collision at 06:51 BST, and one person was taken to York Hospital.

It is the second road incident in the area this week, after a motorcyclist died in a crash on Tuesday.
