In December 2024 a police car was responding to an emergency using sirens and blue lights as it travelled west along the A64 near West Heslerton. On the opposite carriageway, the oncoming car swerved into the path of the police car while trying to avoid another car that had slowed down to a stop on the road. The police car was able to stop quickly and avoid a head-on crash. North Yorkshire Police has released the footage to demonstrate the importance of keeping your distance from the car in front and observing the road ahead.
