A man has died after his car left the road and crashed down a railway embankment onto tracks in Harrogate, police said.

The man, in his 70s, had been travelling on York Place in a silver VW Golf before the crash at about 15:20 BST, North Yorkshire Police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, with his family being supported by specialist officers, a spokesperson confirmed.

The road remains closed, while the railway line between Harrogate and Leeds has also closed.

Some train services between Leeds and York have been cancelled because of the disruption.

Supt Andy Nunns said York Place was “likely to remain closed for most of this evening and the railway line between Harrogate and Leeds is likely to be closed for most of the night”.

He offered his condolences to the man’s family.
