BBC presenter Clare Frisby has thanked a "quick-thinking" van driver after a near-miss on the A64 this morning.
The 55-year-old was driving along the motorway near the Copmanthorpe junction outside of York at 4am when she was met with frantic light flashing from a fellow motorist. She said the driver's action alerted her to a car driving down the wrong side of the carriageway and prevented a potentially serious accident while on her way to work.
The mum-of-two has described the near-miss as "scary" and "unnerving" and said she was incredibly grateful to the van driver who had flashed his lights. Keen to thank him through the power of social media, Clare shared her experience on Twitter, in the hopes of reaching him.
