PART OF A66 CLOSED: Due to overturned lorry
PART of the A66 is closed after a lorry overturned while trying to manouvere round a roundabout.
Police were alerted to the incident, on a roundabout near the Brick Train on the Darlington ringroad, at 10.50am and closed the A66 northbound from the Great Burdon roundabout.
There is also congestion around the Lingfield and Red Hall areas.
It is thought the HGV was carrying wooden boards and overturned because it was badly weighted.
The driver was out of the vehicle when emergency services arrived and is not thought to be injured.
Police expect the road to reopen before 1pm.
