Driver remains in critical condition after crash that closed A19 for six hours


A driver remains in critical condition more than to weeks after he was involved in a serious crash which closed the A19 for six hours.


The three-vehicle accident happened on the A19 southbound close to the Cleveland Tontine on Sunday December 28 at 10.55am.


A silver Mitsubishi L200 pick-up truck, a blue Mazda 6S car and a blue-grey Audi A2 car were involved - and the driver of the Audi A2 was airlifted to hospital.


The 35-year-old man, from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, is still in a critical condition, a North Yorkshire Police spokesman has confirmed.


The driver of the Mitsubishi, a 47-year-old man from Redcar, was arrested in connection with the collision and remains on police bail.


Diversions were put in place while the police investigated the crash scene, vehicles were recovered and debris cleared from the road by the Highways Agency.


Anyone who can help the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for Chris Garbutt.
