A LORRY fire has caused delays on the M62 near Bradford today.

Fire crews from Cleckheaton and Rastrick stations were called to the incident at about 7am. It happened on the eastbound carriageway between junction 26 (Chain Bar) and junction 27 (Gildersome).

Highways England said the hard shoulder - which would normally be open to traffic during rush-hour - was closed and that there was slow traffic as a result. Three lanes of the carriageway are open past the scene.
