A CRASH on the M62 near Bradford closed three lanes of the motorway and there are currently long delays following a midday crash.

National Highways Yorkshire tweeted: "Lanes 1,2 and 3 (of 4) are closed on the M62 eastbound between Junction 26 (Bradford) and Junction 27 (M621 Leeds) due to a collision. Emergency services and traffic officers are on scene."

A short time later, they tweeted: "All lanes are now open on the M62 eastbound between Junction 26 (Bradford) and Junction 27 (Leeds) following an earlier collision.

"There are six miles of residual congestion causing 60 minutes delays above normal travel time. Please allow time for these delays to clear."
