The A64 will be shut between the A1(M) at Bramham and the A162 near Tadcaster over the weekend.

Saffron Cresswell, 23, says staff involved with her ongoing care have become "like family" to her.

Work needs to be carried out on a bridge between Bramham and Boston Spa, National Highways says.

Police are advising motorists to find alternative routes.

Gantry signs are being changed between Tuesday and Thursday where the M1 and A1(M) motorways merge.

The car was being followed by officers when it crashed off the A64 and on to the A1(M), police say.
