Crash halts M62 traffic in West Yorkshire

A THREE-VEHICLE smash has been causing disruption on the motorway in West Yorkshire this afternoon.

Police said a van and a Ford Focus were involved in a crash at around 1.30pm on the M62 eastbound near Junction 25 at Hartshead Moor.

Nobody is believed to have been injured in the incident, but only one lane of traffic was said to be flowing freely, causing delays of up to 30 minutes for drivers.

The Highways Agency said normal traffic conditions were expected by tea-time - although snow is forecast to hit the area at around the same time.
