A driver made a narrow escape after a car collided with a lorry and was dragged 100 metres along the A1 barrier.
The crash between the lorry and a BMW occurred at 9.16am on Monday on the southbound carriageway near Catterick in North Yorkshire.
The smaller vehicle was dragged 100 metres along the barrier after the collision in the outside lane and ended up crushed against the central reservation.
The incident “amazingly” resulted in only minor injuries, fire crews have said.
North Yorkshire’s Richmond Fire Station shared images of the crash site on its Facebook page, writing: “Incident involved HGV and car which collided and was dragged 100m down the central barrier.
“Amazingly minor injuries but could have been so much worse. Traffic is now moving but closures may be required later for recovery.”
There were delays on the A1 while the emergency services were on the scene and repairs were made to the barrier.
