The A617 eastbound was closed from Horns Bridge to Temple Normanton after the incident just after 5am this morning (Thursday, March 5).

Drivers were urged by to find an alternative route- however the road has since re-opened in both directions with traffic moving as normal.

The nature of the incident, or if there were any injuries, is not known.
