An eyewitness said: “There was a crash and the vehicle was on fire, it has been put out now but smoke can still be seen from miles away. “There’s lots of road traffic, police cars turning up. There’s an ambulance down on the motorway as well that came from the M18 direction.

“The motorway’s completely closed. The fire is now out but fire crews were pumping water from a fire hydrant on the roundabout at the top of the exit at junction 36. “The traffic is building up in all directions from the M62 back towards Selby back towards Goole.

“There’s a lot of traffic stuck in that can’t get off so traffic is slowly being filtered past but it looks it looks pretty serious.”
