Commuters faced long delays in Bradford city centre on Wednesday evening due to the continued closure of a major road following a fatal road collision.

A stretch of Leeds Road was closed in both directions between the Broadway shopping centre and Shipley Airedale Road.

Access routes onto Leeds Road from Shipley Airedale Road and Hall Ings were also blocked off.

The closures followed this afternoon's collision on Leeds Road in which a woman has now been confirmed to have died.

One motorist contacted the T&A's Facebook page to warn of 'total gridlock' in the city centre, with "cars everywhere and nothing moving".

The road was reopened in the early evening.
