Motorway closed after lorry overturns

The M62 was closed in both directions outside Leeds earlier after a lorry overturned.

National Highways said the motorway was shut between junction 29 for Lofthouse and junction 30 for Oulton, though the eastbound carriageway partially reopened at about 19:00 BST.

West Yorkshire Police said the HGV had crossed the central reservation and emergency services were at the scene.

Officers urged drivers to avoid the area and find alternative routes as the road was expected to remain closed for some time.
