A MAN and woman were killed yesterday in a road crash that closed a lane of a busy dual carriageway holiday route.
The car driver and his woman passenger died when their vehicle was in collision with a tipper lorry on the A64 York to Scarborough road.
The accident happened on the eastbound lane near the Highwayman Cafe, just to the east of York, at about 4.20pm.
All three emergency services attended the scene, and diversions were set up as the road was closed for several hours.
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them on (01904) 631321.
In particular, they want to talk to the driver of a box van, which was at the scene when the accident happened.
