West Yorkshire Police were called to the scene of Low Road (A639) in Hunslet at 3.15pm on Monday after reports of an accident.

They arrested a man at the scene who was taken into custody.

The 13-year-old girl was taken to Leeds General Infirmary where her condition is not yet known.

The incident happened at around 4pm on Monday afternoon and left two people with minor injuries.

One driver was taken to hospital to be checked over.

The carriageway on Stile Hill Way was closed while the vehicles were recovered and heavy delays are expected until late on Monday evening.
