A STRETCH of the A66 has now been re-opened after a crash involving a horse drawn vehicle.

Cumbria Road watch reported earlier this morning, that the A66 westbound has been closed at North Stainmore due to the collision.

The road is believed to have re-opened at 9.51 am, however delays are expected to take a while to clear.

UPDATE: Horse dies and three suffer minor injuries following A66 crash
