TWO vehicles have been involved in a crash on the M62 this evening, causing lane closures and queues.
West Yorkshire Police said that the collision was "damage-only", and no injuries have been reported.
It happened on the M62 Eastbound between J26 M606 J1 (Chain Bar) and J27 M621 (Gildersome).
There are currently queues of up to six miles as a result of the crash - with congestion to J25 (Brighouse) - and two lanes are still closed due to fuel spillage.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at 4.21pm to a damage-only road traffic collision involving two vehicles, past J26 E. Lane closures are in place, due to fuel spillage."
