A three-vehicle crash has left traffic backed up for miles on the A19.

Motorists were left queuing to Seaham following the collision, which happened earlier today, Tuesday, October 22, on the northbound carriageway at Hylton Bridge, between the A183 Chester Road and A1231 Sunderland Highway and Wessington Way.

North East Live Traffic reported a lane was blocked on the sliproad off Hylton Bridge and has since cleared.

Motorists have also been warned of week-long restrictions on the A690 due to an assessment.
