Overview
- The collision on the A19 Tees Flyover was first reported at 5:55am on Monday and prompted an initial full northbound closure that drew emergency services to the scene.
- Cleveland Police told motorists to follow diversions and said the road was expected to remain closed until about 8:00am while crews worked to clear the scene.
- Traffic monitors and the AA reported growing tailbacks and severe delays on the northbound carriageway, with slow-moving queues reaching toward the A174 turn-off.
- One person, the male driver, was taken to University Hospital of North Tees with a wrist injury and the vehicle has been recovered while one lane remains closed for barrier damage assessment and repairs.
- The A19 flyover links the A66 and local interchanges, so the incident has caused spillover delays on sliproads and local junctions and will continue to affect commuters until barrier repairs and full clearance are complete.
