A TRAILER which has suffered a broken axle is partially blocking a road in Eaglescliffe.

Cleveland and Durham Road Policing unit are currently at the scene while the vehicle is safely removed.

They said: "We are currently on scene at Yarm Road, Eaglescliffe following a report of a broken down vehicle.

"Sadly, the axle has snapped on this trailer and it is currently partially blocking the filter lane on the A67, outside of the Cleveland Bay Public House.

"The trailer will need to be emptied before it can be moved.

"The filter lane is still open and passable at low speed for cars and small vans, larger vehicles will struggle at this moment."
