A ROAD has re-opened following a serious crash earlier today. 

The major Broadway route in Horsforth had been closed since this afternoon, causing major traffic delays around the area. 

West Yorkshire Police has not yet issued anything further than an initial statement this afternoon which said: "Police are currently in attendance at a serious road traffic collision in Broadway, Horsforth.

"Road closures are in place in both directions and people are advised to avoid the area at this time."

Extensive cordons were in place on the busy road, which runs between Rodley and Horsforth.
