MOTORISTS faced traffic chaos this morning after a fatal head-on smash between a lorry and a car caused huge tailbacks on the A66 in North Yorkshire.
The crash occurred at 7.30am the Newsham crossroads, near Scotch Corner, and the car driver and a passenger were trapped.
Two men were taken to Darlington memorial Hospital and one of them has since died. Their identities have not been released at present.
The notorious road was completely blocked in both directions for many hours.
