M62 backlog
Despite all lanes being re-opened, the backlog is now stretching back to Brighouse apparently. Average speed is 20mph, motorists are being recommended to allow an extra 45 minutes to their travel time.

Ainley Top sliproad clear
The exit slip road on the M62 Westbound at J24 A629 (Ainley Top) is now clear. But avoid the motorway if you can!
M62
Unless you hate yourself, take the A62 if you’re travelling towards Leeds this afternoon. Much quicker than sitting through this!
M62 madness
Good afternoon. We’ve got more congestion on the M62 this afternoon, I’m afraid. Accidents on both sides. Eastbound is blocked with stationary traffic due to multi-vehicle accident between J26 and J27, with congestion back to Hartshead Moor Services.
Westbound is also gridlocked with one lane closed and slow traffic due to an accident on between J27 and J26, with congestion to J28.
A mountain of bottles was dumped just feet from bottle banks in Mirfield town centre.
The unsightly stack of empties – some still in boxes or stuffed into plastic bags – were left piled up in a council car park in Station Road.
It is thought overflowing bottle banks had forced people to dump their bottles and run.
But even after the seven bottle banks had been emptied, the dumped waste remained.
