There are massive queues on the M62 due to a number of cows invading the motorway.
Traffic was previously held in both directions from Junction 22 A672 Rishworth Moor to Junction 23 New Hey Road, Huddersfield after the animals got onto the motorway. Traffic website Inrix says the carriageway has now been reopened in both directions.
There are still long queues of traffic. Cars and lorries can be seen queuing for long stretches under the bridge on the M62.
