West Yorkshire Police shut the stretch of motorway between junctions 22 and 23 east and west-bound just after 4pm as it dealt with an “ongoing incident”.

Officers put closures in place after being called out to reports of concern for the safety of a man in Saddleworth Road, Halifax.

A force spokesman said the roads have now fully re-opened but the closure is having a significant impact on traffic and motorists.
