The driver, a 21-year-old man, and a 20-year-old female passenger were both taken to Leeds General Infirmary by ambulance.

The northbound carriageway was closed until 11.15am as recovery and investigation were carried out. The southbound carriageway was also briefly closed to allow the air ambulance to land.
