Cars were backed up on the A1027 with traffic queued right back under the blue bridge near to Norton Avenue .

Traffic was also being redirected around the Crooksbarn Estate.

Officers on the scene closed the road before getting the man to safety.

The road was reopened a short time later, said a Cleveland Police spokesman.
