It is thought an earlier incident when a man fell from a bridge onto the A64 causing the Inner Ring Road to close has created increased traffic in other areas.

The roads around Quarry House and St James Hospital also remain very busy following the incident.

The man survived the fall and has been taken to hospital, where his current condition is not yet known.
