A deer running loose on the M62 caused a traffic hazard earlier.

The deer was reported to be running on both the east and west bound carriageways of the motorway, between the Brighouse turn-off at J25 and the slip road to the M606 link road to Bradford.

Matrix signs were set at 40mph to slow down traffic and motorists were being warned to approach the area with care.

It was reported at 10.50am that the deer had died and had been cleared from the road.
