M62 closure: Police update after woman falls from bridge
Police provided an update on Sunday after a woman fell from a bridge on the M62.
At 12.57pm on Sunday September 20, police received a report of a woman on the wrong side of railings on a bridge on the M62 at junction 22.
While officers were at the scene, the woman fell from the bridge at 2.51pm.
She received injuries that are described as serious but are not considered life-threatening and is receiving medical treatment.
The westbound M62 has now reopened, and the eastbound carriageway has also reopened apart from one lane following a concern for safety incident which had required a full closure in both directions between junctions 22 and 24.
A post-incident procedure has been initiated according to West Yorkshire Police, which is normal practice for incidents such as this, and a scene remains in place as part of this process.
Officers thank motorists for their continued patience while traffic returns to normal in the area.
