THOSE travelling over the tops tonight may face delays after an accident on the M62.
Drivers face seven miles of traffic on the route after the lorry crashed on the eastbound carriageway between Rishworth Moor junction 22 and Outlane at junction 23.
Two lanes have been closed due to the rolled over vehicle, believed to be transporting crushed glass.
