Lorry ploughs over M-way barrier

One man died after a lorry ploughed across the central reservation of a busy commuter motorway in West Yorkshire on Tuesday morning.

The lorry went through the barrier on the M62 motorway close to Castleford and hit a car travelling westbound.

Nine other vehicles were involved in the subsequent pile-up on the motorway close to junction 32 during the morning rush hour.

The road was closed between junction 29 and A1 interchange for several hours.
