Hour-long delays on M62 due to broken down lorry

There are currently hour-long delays on the M62 due to a broken down lorry.

The incident happened on the westbound carriageway, between junction 23 for Huddersfield and junction 22 for Rishworth Moor.

It happened just before 1pm.

All lanes have been reopened.

But there are long tailbacks stretching to junction 27 for Gildersome.

Traffic is also slow on the opposite side of the motorway as motorists slow down to take a look at the crash.

Highways England tweeted about the incident, saying one lane was closed.

The lane has now been reopened.

Drivers are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys or to seek an alternative route.
