A1 Northbound Closure in East Lothian Due to Distress Call

Police in East Lothian shut down the northbound A1 after getting a call around noon on Monday, April 20th, about a person in distress. A man ended up in the hospital, getting treatment from whatever went down there. The closure hit right at the junction with the A199 near Haddington locking up that key stretch of road for hours on end. Local drivers dealt with huge backups, crawling along in grid luck while trying to head north, frustrating for sure on a busy route like that. Officers just reopened the whole area, clearing the way for traffic to flow again without issues. Motorers showed real patients through it all, and with the road back in action, things should settle quick.
