Van Crash Causes Major Delays M62 West Yorkshire

Multiple incidents have caused significant traffic delays on key motorways in northern England. On the M6, a lorry broke down between junctions 27 and 26, leading to lane closures and residual delays of around 30 minutes during rush hour. Further north on the M6 near Tebay, an HGV collided with a barrier in roadworks, prompting emergency response and expected delays. Meanwhile, the M62 near Huddersfield has experienced severe disruptions after a van crashed into the central reservation, damaging the barrier and resulting in full closures and long queues with delays up to an hour westbound and 35 minutes eastbound. Emergency repairs are underway, and drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes. These incidents coincide with adverse weather conditions, including strong winds and heavy rain, which may further complicate travel conditions.
