Think its a coach wagon and something pulling a hoarse box.
There’s 4 air ambulances landed in the last 20 mins.
There must be 30-40 emergency vehicles blocking carriageway.

3 minutes & case closed. :unamused:

Sky say HGV & minibus.

BBC TV News reporting 2 dead + 10 seriously injured.

Just been reported on BBC National Lunchtime News & BBC Look North that there are at least 2 fatalities and 10 people with serious injuries. 6 Air Ambulances have attended the scene and the injured are being taken to hospitals in Wakefield, Leeds and Middlesborough . Sounds like a real bad one this with the M62 W/B not expected to be reopened before 1800hrs.
