A MAN has died in a crash on the A19 today.
The 62-year-old driver of a black BMW 5-Series was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened at about 11.45am close to the Forest Road junction in Easingwold.
A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said the car was the only vehicle involved in the incident, which meant the road was closed in both directions for more than four hours while investigations took place.
The spokesman said the family of the man, who was from the Castleford area, has been made aware.
