Weekend M62 Crashes Snarl West Yorkshire Traffic as Ferrybridge Queues Ease

Official details on causes and injuries have not yet been released.

Overview

  • Queues formed eastbound near J33 by Ferrybridge services around 9am on Sunday, with all lanes remaining open according to INRIX.
  • Traffic later eased at Ferrybridge after the morning collision, per updated INRIX data.
  • On Saturday, a westbound crash near Huddersfield between J24 (Ainley Top) and J23 (New Hey Road) led to a full hold and then a continuing lane-three closure.
  • The Huddersfield disruption produced congestion back to J25 (Brighouse) after the carriageway was blocked for about 30 minutes, with slowdowns also reported on the opposite side due to onlookers.
  • West Yorkshire Police were contacted for information, and reporters noted that the nature of both incidents remained unclear at the time of publication.
