Overview

• West Yorkshire Police said a black Mercedes failed to stop at 12:52am before crashing into barriers at the J29 exit slip, killing a man in his 30s, and the IOPC has opened an independent investigation.
• The M62 eastbound remains shut between J28 (Tingley) and J29 (Lofthouse), with parts of the M1 J42 interchange closed and National Highways warning the closure will extend into the early afternoon.
• On the M1 northbound at J15 near Northampton, an overturned tanker from a late‑Friday collision left two of four lanes and the entry slip closed, with contractors clearing a significant spillage and delays of around 20 minutes over three miles.
• National Highways has set signed and non‑symbol diversions around the M62 closure, and advises drivers to follow posted routes and allow extra time while collision investigators and recovery teams remain on scene.
• Earlier disruptions this week included a fatal HGV crash near Gretna that closed parts of the A74(M)/M6 and a campervan fire on the A50 near Sideway in Stoke‑on‑Trent, both now cleared with residual delays reported by traffic monitors.
