Due to the debris, National Highways has warned drivers that the road will be closed for a 'considerable time'.

A National Highways spokesman said: “Once recovery of the vehicles is complete the road will re-open but a lane closure will be required in both directions to allow the central reservation to be repaired/replaced.

"This work is expected to last throughout tonight and in to Saturday, February 11.”

North Yorkshire Police, Fire, Ambulance Services and National Highways Traffic Officers are on scene.
