Serious Cyclist Crash Closes Major Road in York City Centre

The closure has blocked access to York Station and prompted a multi‑agency emergency response with an air ambulance deployed.

Overview

  • A serious collision involving a cyclist in York city centre was reported on Friday morning, prompting an immediate emergency response.
  • North Yorkshire Police closed the A1036 Station Road/Station Avenue both ways from Blossom Street to Leeman Road, cutting access to York Station.
  • Emergency crews attended the scene and Yorkshire Air Ambulance was seen in the city centre and later landed in Museum Gardens to assist.
  • Local outlets have contacted North Yorkshire Police, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and Yorkshire Air Ambulance for comment, and no official update on the cyclist’s condition has been published.
  • The A1036 provides direct access to the railway station, so the closure has caused major traffic and station access disruption and further updates and an investigation by police are expected.
