Major road closed after Storm Otto blows over two HGVs

A major road is closed after two lorries have been blown over by strong winds from Storm Otto. Both carriages of the A1(M) between Leeming Bar and Catterick in North Yorkshire are closed after Storm Otto has blown two HGVs over onto their side.

Dramatic pictures from the scene show both of the lorries flipped onto one side on the motorway. Drivers have also been advised to drive carefully as there are 'many branches on the road.'

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service said: "Storm Otto is causing some problems out here. Currently the A1(M) north and south between Leeming and Catterick have two HGVs blown over.

"There are also many branches down on the road so please drive carefully."
