Police at the scene. Officers blocked off the road at the junction with Lancaster Park Road.
In addition to the road closure, officers also diverted traffic away from Knaresborough Road at the Empress roundabout, and long tailbacks formed along Skipton Road and York Place, which was already busy due to Harrogate Food and Drink Festival being held this weekend on the Stray.
