THE upper deck of a car transporter collapsed as it travelled along a busy North-East dual carriageway yesterday.
Three new cars it was carrying were damaged and the transporter was towed away after the incident at 10.45am, on the westbound carriageway of the A66, near the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough.
A Cleveland Police spokesman said the transporter, carrying seven new cars, narrowly avoided hitting a car after the collapse.
But traffic did not have to be diverted and the carriageway was clear by noon.
