The reason Leeds city centre road was shut by emergency services
A road in Leeds city centre was closed after a multi-vehicle crash this afternoon.
Traffic was ‘queuing’ after lunch after Canal Street was shut for around an hour. Police were called to the scene just after 12.30pm.
Three vehicles were reported to have been involved in the crash and one person was taken to hospital. The road was re-opened around 4.45pm.
Drivers in Leeds are facing lengthy delays on the M62 this afternoon. The westbound carriageway of the motorway has been disrupted by a broken down vehicle.
Queues of around 50 minutes were reported by Highways England. However, that is expected to ease in the coming hours.
