A BROKEN down lorry caused delays for motorists on the M62 near Bradford today.

Highways England said the truck caused a lane closure on the westbound carriageway between junction 27 (Gildersome) and junction 26 (Chain Bar).

A rolling road block was put in place at about 6.55am while the lorry was moved from the carriageway.

Traffic was queuing as a result of the breakdown, but motorists were allowed to use the hard shoulder as a live lane, said Highways England.
