Drivers 'stuck and starving' as horror crash shuts motorway for 10 hours
An air ambulance was spotted landing nearby as drivers became stuck in a large police closure. Drivers have been left "trapped and starving" for hours after a serious motorway crash. Emergency services raced to the collision on the M62 at 6pm on Thursday. The stretch of road eastbound from junction 22 A627 near Rishworth Moor in Denshaw, to junction 24 for New Hey Road in Huddersfield, remained closed for 10 hours. An air ambulance was spotted landing nearby as drivers became stuck in a large police closure. No further details about the number of vehicles or condition of those involved have been released by police yet. The closure saw thousands of motorists caught in the lengthy delays, including Leigh Leopards fans on their way home from the Super League match at John Smith's Stadium, in Huddersfield. One X user said: "M62 shut, nightmare for Leigh fans." Another posted: "On M62 so Leigh fans [are] stuck." Others claimed they had been stuck for 'seven hours' before the closure was lifted and traffic was released by emergency services. Manchester Evening News reports that just after 1am, one stuck driver said they "can't wait to tell everyone in my life i was stuck on the M62 for 7 hours." Another said in frustration "You actually going to get us moving now or what? Nearly seven hours is beyond embarrassing and nowhere near good enough!" Driver Danny said on X: "Hurry up please lads I'm starving" after waiting for nearly six hours. Another vented: "Please please please give us some news. We are near the front. No one is moving or has moved or is being taken off the motorway." And just after 10pm, stranded motorist Chris said: "So I have been stuck in my car on the M62 for *4hrs* now. "Just documenting this in case the weather turns and I freeze to death. PS, can we have better trains from Hull to Liverpool please, as I would take trains if quicker."
