    Penny Pot Lane near Harrogate has reopened after a serious traffic accident this afternoon.

    A woman in her 60s who was driving a car was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with serious injuries, although they are not thought to be life-threatening.

    Emergency services were called to the scene near New Acre Farm shortly after 1pm.

    Fire, ambulance and police vehicles were all in attendance.

    North Yorkshire Police urged drivers to avoid the road in a tweet at 2.17pm this afternoon.

    Harrogate traffic sergeant Paul Cording also used his Twitter account to alert people to the situation.

    Sgt Cording later alerted the Stray Ferret to the road reopening at about 3pm.

    Penny Pot Lane is a popular route for people in Harrogate travelling to Fewston and Swinsty reservoirs.

    It is also the location of the West Harrogate Household Waste Recycling Centre run by North Yorkshire County Council, and traffic queueing to enter the site frequently backs up.

    Witnesses can contact North Yorkshire Police by dialling 101, pressing 1 and speaking to the force control room. Quote reference number 0148 of 16 February.
