Officers from Cleveland Police Matrix Team attended a dramatic two vehicle collision in Acklam at the height of Tuesday evenings rush hour.
The incident took place at around 4:45pm and completed closed Acklam Road between Lodore Grove and Trimdon Avenue.
Acklam Road is one of Middlesbrough busiest routes linking communities across Acklam, Coulby Newham and Hemlington.
As a result of the crash which involved a small silver car and a Stagecoach bus, traffic on the evenings commute was at a snails pace on the surrounding roads resulting in lengthy delays for commuters.
Cleveland Police alongside colleagues from the North East Ambulance service attended the scene and confirm after assessments no injuries were sustained therefore no one was transported to hospital.
The road remained closed for a brief period and was re-opened to traffic a short time after once complex recovery was undertaken and the road was declared safe to open.
