A serious collision has closed a major route in Scarborough, with emergency services urging drivers to avoid Scalby Road while they respond to the incident.

A serious collision has forced the closure of a major route in Scarborough.

Emergency services are currently responding to an incident on Scalby Road, with significant disruptions expected for motorists travelling through the area.

The crash has occurred on the stretch of road between The Rosette and Coldyhill Lane, prompting immediate road closures and traffic diversions.

Drivers will face restricted access across several key junctions as a result of the ongoing emergency response.

North Yorkshire Police confirmed the details of the incident and the resulting traffic measures.

A spokesperson for the force said:

"We're currently responding to a serious collision on Scalby Road in Scarborough, between The Rosette and Coldyhill Lane."

Motorists attempting to travel south on Scalby Road will find no access past Danes Dyke.

Similarly, there is no route available for vehicles travelling north of Coldyhill Lane.

Drivers approaching from Hackness Road will also be unable to access Scalby Road while the scene remains active.

Special arrangements have been put in place for larger transport vehicles navigating the town.

The North Yorkshire Police spokesperson added:

"Large vehicles will have to use Burniston Road."

Road users are being strongly advised to avoid the affected area entirely and to seek alternative routes to their destinations.

Emergency services remain at the scene as they continue to manage the aftermath of the collision.
