All three lanes on the M62 eastbound have been reopened after an earlier crash.

Two of the three carriageways were closed between Junction 22 (Rishworth Moor) and Junction 23 (New Hey Road) near Huddersfield after a car towing a trailer overturned.

National Highways said at one stage drivers faced delays of up to two hours, with traffic queuing for 10 miles back to Junction 18 at Simister.

shortly after 15:45 BST the agency said the car and trailer had been removed.
