Tragic incident on the River Esk near Glaisdale | North Yorkshire Police

PLEASE NOTE THIS ADVICE FROM NORTH YORKSHIRE POLICE (22:30 on 28/12/2023):

Extreme caution required on wet and flooded roads

Localised conditions across our area are making driving hazardous.

Roads are particularly badly affected around the River Esk, to the north of the county, as we have seen with the tragic incident near Glaisdale.

There was another incident at nearby Houlsyke at 12.49pm when a car got stuck in flood water and another at Kirby Wiske in Hambleton at 2.35pm.

Thankfully, the occupants of both vehicles were brought to safety.

The key advice is to consider whether your journey is necessary.

If you are driving, use your headlights, leave extra space to the car in front, and take it slow and steady.

Please avoid driving through any kind of standing or moving flood water if you possibly can.
