A MULTI-vehicle crash on the M62 which caused traffic to queue for more than six miles has been cleared

The outside two lanes of the eastbound carriageway were closed this morning and part of this afternoon due to the crash between Junction 25 for Brighouse and Junction 26 for Chain Bar.

The crash happened at around 11am, and was cleared at around 12.30pm.

Four vehicles appeared to have been involved in the crash in the outside lane, and traffic officers were at the scene dealing with the crash.

This crash followed delays earlier today in the opposite direction on the M62 when a car caught fire.
