Motorists have been cautioned to anticipate prolonged traffic congestion that is progressively worsening.
National Highways reported, “This incident is now resolved, and all lanes are open on the #M62 eastbound in #WestYorkshire between J24 (#Huddersfield) and J25 (#Brighouse).” However, a 50-minute delay persists, but is expected to alleviate soon.

Multiple emergency service vehicles, including two ambulances, two fire trucks, and two police cars, are on-site to handle the situation.
Drivers are experiencing one-hour delays in the vicinity of the M62 closure, with congestion spanning at least four miles.
