MOTORISTS in North Yorkshire have been warned by police that although temperatures have risen across the region, driving conditions are still hazardous.
The recent snow has started to melt in many places across the county, but low overnight temperatures have seen patches of ice and black ice form on roads around the region.
Emergency services were called to a two vehicle road traffic accident on the eastbound carriageway of the A64, near the A1079 Hull Road turn-off, which police said may have been caused due to ice on the road.
The incident involved a blue Fiat and a white van, and caused heavy traffic due to the closure of one lane on the carriageway.
