The M62 will remain closed westbound between Junction 28 at Leeds and Junction 27 (M621) due to a large diesel spillage across the road surface.

National Highways have confirmed that the carriageway will remain closed overnight as all four lanes need to be resurfaced.

The spillage caused delays and tailbacks of several miles during rush hour this evening. Diversions are in place.
