THERE are delays on the M62 this afternoon due to a lorry fire. 

The westbound carriageway is closed between junction 25 (Brighouse) and junction 24 (Huddersfield). 

It appears the fire took hold in a Morrisons lorry, but now looks to have been brought under control by fire crews, as the below picture from the scene shows.

Five fire engines were sent to the scene from Cleckheaton, Huddersfield, Odsal and two from Dewsbury.
