A man has been arrested after a woman was killed in a two-vehicle Christmas Day collision which shut a major motorway for 12 hours. Emergency services in North Yorkshire were called to the A1(M) northbound shortly after 20:30 GMT on Wednesday following the crash between a white Ford Fiesta and a black Volkswagen Tiguan near Stapleton. The Fiesta driver, a man in his 80s from the Durham area, suffered serious injuries, while the passenger, a woman in her 80s, also from Durham, died at the scene.
Police said the Volkswagen driver, a man in his 20s from Durham, had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and later released under investigation. The force said the road was closed after the incident and did not reopen until about 08:00 GMT on Thursday.
