MOTORISTS heading west along the M62 are are being warned of delays following an accident.

A multi-vehicle collision, which involved a motorcycle, between J25 A644, Brighouse, and J24 A629, Ainley Top, closed the motorway in both directions for a while but is now open.

The eastbound carriageway was released around 13:40 and the westbound around 2pm.

The closure caused congestion to M26, M606/A58, Chain Bar.

Delays are likely while standing traffic gets moving and urge motorists to allow extra time if travelling in that direction.
