Vehicle fire delays drivers on M62

Motorists faced delays after two lanes were closed on a motorway. A vehicle fire caused delays on the eastbound carriageway of the M62 between junction 31 for Pontefract Road and junction 32 for Park Road, near Leeds, yesterday morning. Lanes one and two of the three carriageways were affected by the closure. Earlier, a multi-vehicle accident had closed the same motorway westbound, but all lanes were soon reopened.
