Drivers face delays after crash

Motorists faced hours of delays on a busy motorway after an articulated lorry shed its load of sweets.

The driver was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries when his truck overturned and slid along the M62 in West Yorkshire early on Thursday.

It demolished hundreds of metres of central reservation and a series of lighting towers along the motorway.

Workers spent hours clearing up thousands of sweets and there were 15-mile tailbacks in both directions.
