Firefighters are tackling a large blaze at a scrapyard in East Yorkshire.

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service said multiple crews were called to a fire at a commercial site on York Road in Pocklington, which started at about 09:45 BST.

A road closure is in place with a part of the A1079 shut between Hodsow Lane roundabout and The Balk while emergency services worked at the site, a spokesperson said.

Residents have been advised to keep their windows and doors closed because of the large amount of smoke, and motorists have been urged to avoid the area.
