Woman assaulted by HGV driver after A66 crash near Richmond
A woman was assaulted by a HGV driver after the van she was driving was involved in a crash with his lorry in North Yorkshire.
The collision happened on the westbound A66, where the road narrows to a single carriageway near Gilling West, at about 11:30 BST on Friday.
A man driving a Renault lorry with a red cab and the woman, who was driving a grey Mercedes Sprinter van, got into a "heated confrontation", according to North Yorkshire Police.
The man then assaulted the woman, leaving her with minor injuries, officers said.
