The M62 is closed in both directions after a man was killed in a crash during the early hours of the morning.

The route is closed from Junction 22 at Rishworth Moor near Oldham to Junction 24.

The crash happened at around 2.30am. Police remain at the scene.

The motorway is likely to remain closed throughout the morning. Diversions are in place and it is hoped the motorway will reopen at noon.

National Highways said: "West Yorkshire Police remain working on scene, and have confirmed the road will likely to remain closed through out the morning while police investigations continue. Once investigations are complete, clear up works will be in operation before re-opening the road to traffic."

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
