A man has been killed in a head-on car crash after driving the wrong way down the M62 in West Yorkshire.
Police received reports of a Vauxhall Corsa travelling westbound on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway at 2.06am yesterday.
Officers found the vehicle had collided with a VW Golf close to the Scammonden Bridge.
The male Corsa driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The VW Golf driver was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital.
Three fire engines attended the scene.
Police briefly closed both carriageways between Junctions 22 and 24 but have since reopened them, National Highways North-West said.
