Part of the A1 remained closed for several hours following a serious collision in Northumberland.
Just before 10am on Monday, police received a report of a collision on the A1 northbound near Brownieside involving two cars and an oil tanker.. National Highways confirmed that the road was closed in both directions between the B1340 (near Alnwick) and the A1167 (near Berwick-upon-Tweed).
The road remained closed for several hours following the collision which resulted in large oil spillage. The closure caused major traffic disruption in the area as motorists were urged to avoid the area to ease congestion.
