Overview
- The M62 westbound is closed in two sections: between J19–J18 near Heywood and Simister Island, and J23–J22 near Huddersfield and Rishworth Moor, following separate crashes.
- Traffic on the opposite side of the M62 is experiencing significant delays due to onlookers slowing down to observe the incidents.
- The M60 anticlockwise is facing long delays with two lanes closed between J14 and J13 due to a shed load obstructing the road.
- The A672 Oldham Road is fully closed in both directions between M62 J22 and Rishworth New Road due to a serious fire.
- These incidents follow a recent moorland fire that caused smoke to drift across the M62, compounding travel disruptions in the region.
