Snow and ice: Northbound A1 closed in North Yorkshire

A 25-mile stretch of the A1 northbound in North Yorkshire has been closed after a series of accidents in icy conditions early on Monday.

Fire services in North Yorkshire say as many as 20 lorries had jack-knifed on the A1 between Allerton Park and Catterick.

The closure caused major traffic queues with many drivers stuck in their vehicles for more than four hours.

The BBC's Danny Savage filmed the tailback at the A1M near Wetherby on his mobile phone.
