Incidents

Road closed and queueing traffic due to spillage of diesel on M62 Westbound between J28 A653 Dewsbury Road (Tingley) and J27 M621 (Gildersome).

Drivers on the M62 in West Yorkshire are warned of delays during peak traffic hours as the westbound carriageway is currently closed between junctions 28 (Tingley) and 27(Gildersome) due to a diesel spillage.

An LGV has broken down in an emergency refuge area and ruptured a fuel tank, resulting in the spillage of diesel across the carriageway. National Highways traffic officers, police and fire crews are at the scene.

National Highways is now working to release traffic trapped near the scene. Traffic is being diverted from junction 28 onto the A650 and the A62 to re-join the M62 at junction 27.

The spillage is expected to cause significant delays into this evening. In the meantime, drivers should leave extra time for their journeys or find alternative routes.
