A ROAD was closed for more than five hours yesterday after a car crash that claimed the life of a middle-aged man.
The accident, on the B1257 between Amotherby and Swinton, in North Yorkshire, was the third serious crash in the Malton area in four days.
Two cars were involved in the crash at 5.46am, near the Westler Food Factory. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
A woman in the other car, a Vauxhall Corsa, suffered slight injuries.
On Monday, five people were hurt in a crash on the A64 at Huttons Ambo. On Tuesday, Ethel Clark, 80, from Leeds, died in an accident on the A64 close to Barton Hill.
