MOTORISTS had to swerve out of the way as an elderly woman drove her car the wrong way down the A64 yesterday.

At least half a dozen cars travelling on the eastbound carriageway at about 2pm had to swerve to avoid the silver Ford Fiesta between the Hopgrove and Grimston Bar roundabouts. A police spokesman said it is thought she left the dual carriageway at the Grimston Bar roundabout. One car had to swerve off the road, and the driver received minor injuries. Witnesses should phone 0845 6060247.
