Good morning

The A647 in Halifax is very slow this morning in both directions - it’s partially blocked due to an accident between All Souls’ Road and Burdock Way.

A Peugeot was overtaking another vehicle in the early hours of this morning and lost control, hitting railings. The male driver was extricated from the car by fire services and taken to hospital, although his injuries are not thought to be serious. Luckily, an ambulance was there to witness the collision and was able to quickly attend to him.
