A crash on the M62 has led to the closure of two lanes, causing significant delays this evening. The eastbound stretch between junction 24 for Huddersfield and junction 25 for Brighouse has been blocked off to drivers. Emergency services, including police, fire crews, paramedics, and Highways Officers, are present to manage the situation.
Motorists have been advised to anticipate prolonged delays that are progressively worsening. National Highways confirmed the incident’s resolution, with all lanes reopened on the M62 eastbound in West Yorkshire between J24 (Huddersfield) and J25 (Brighouse). Although there is still a 50-minute delay in the vicinity, it is expected to alleviate soon.
Inrix, the live traffic service, reported “severe delays” on the M62 due to an earlier collision involving three vehicles near junctions 24 and 25 on the eastbound carriageway. Despite the clearance of the incident and the reopening of all lanes, a 50-minute delay persists in the area. The scene is attended by multiple emergency response vehicles, including ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars.
Drivers are encountering one-hour delays in the vicinity of the M62 closure, leading to a traffic congestion of at least four miles. Emergency crews are still actively engaged at the site, addressing the aftermath of the collision. The closure of two lanes on the eastbound carriageway between junction 24 for Huddersfield and junction 25 for Brighouse remains in effect.
