A busy road through a North Yorkshire attraction has reopened after a stuck lorry meant it was blocked in both directions. 

As The Press reported, police were on on the scene from about 7.50am morning (Thursday, October 24) on the A170 at Sutton Bank with drivers urged to avoid the area.

Shortly before 11.50am, North Yorkshire Police confirmed that the road had reopened and the lorry had been recovered.

"Thanks for your patience if you were affected," a force spokesperson said.
