THE main road through Nunthorpe was closed today after a two-vehicle crash.

The accident happened on The Avenue earlier this afternoon, showering the road and footpaths with debris.

It involved a silver Volkswagen Golf and a black Skoda Rapid and was close to the junction with Green Way in a 20mph zone.

The Volkswagen came to rest against a tree, with the Skoda colliding with the rear of another car.

It is understood two women were in the cars. One is said to have been taken to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough. Injuries are unknown.

Police closed off the road to traffic while they carried out investigation work. It has since reopened.
