A Redcar man has been arrested in connection with a serious crash which shut the A19 for six hours and left a man fighting for his life.
The three-vehicle accident happened on the A19 southbound close to the Cleveland Tontine yesterday at 10.55am.
It involved a blue-grey Audi A2 car, a silver Mitsubishi L200 pick-up truck and a blue Mazda 6S car.
The driver of the Audi A2, who is 35 and from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Middlesbrough’s James Cook University Hospital.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police today said that he remains in a critical condition.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, a 47-year-old man from Redcar, was arrested in connection with the collision.
He was later released on police bail.
The accident happened just south of the A172 junction and the road was closed for six hours after the collision.
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.
Witnesses or anyone who can help the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Chris Garbutt or Thirsk Roads Policing Group.
