Overview

• The M62 eastbound between junctions 28 (Tingley) and 29 (Lofthouse) is closed after a serious single-vehicle collision around 1am, with National Highways saying closures are likely to last into the early afternoon.
• Access at the Lofthouse Interchange is restricted, with M1 northbound traffic unable to join the M62 eastbound and M62 westbound traffic unable to join the M1 northbound, as West Yorkshire Police conduct collision investigations and traffic officers manage diversions.
• On the M1 northbound at junction 15 in Northamptonshire, two of four lanes and the entry slip remain shut after a late‑Friday car–tanker crash that left the tanker overturned, with recovery in its final stages and delays of about 20 minutes over three miles of congestion.
• Recent days saw major disruption including a fatal single-vehicle HGV crash near Gretna that closed the A74(M)/M6 for hours on October 2, an overturned vehicle on the M6 between junctions 35 and 36 early on October 3, and a multi-vehicle collision on the M6 between junctions 19 and 20 on October 2.
• A campervan fire on the A50 at Sideway in Stoke-on-Trent on October 2 caused extensive rush-hour queues across the A50 and A500, and was later confirmed accidental with no injuries.
