TRAFFIC is beginning to ease on the M62 after a two vehicle crash earlier.

Two lanes of the westbound carriageway, between junction 26 (Chain Bar) and junction 25 (Brighouse) were closed due to the collision.

It happened at around 5:59pm.

But a damaged white Skoda, involved in the crash, has since been moved to the hard shoulder and traffic is said to be flowing.

It had slowed to less than 40mph at one point.

Traffic officers and emergency services were at the scene initially too.
