M62 traffic: Motorists face delays as Yorkshire motorway closed following crash

The M62 was closed eastbound between J34 (Selby) and J35 Doncaster on Friday morning, National Highways announced at approximately 7.30am.

Lanes two and three were also closed in the westbound direction.

At 11.15am, National Highways said lane 2 eastbound had re-opened, but lane 3 remained closed in both directions.

The closure is due to emergency barrier repairs following a crash.
