THE west-bound carriageway of the A66 was closed for several hours on Teesside after two lorries collided.
One of the vehicles mounted the central reservation, making the job of recovering the lorries more difficult.
The collision took place between Borough Road (Middlehaven Interchange) and the A172 Marton Road (Marton Road Interchange) at 6.35pm tonight.
The road re-opened at around 10pm.
Traffic out of Middlesbrough towards the A19 Tees Flyover was badly affected.
