A woman has been taken to hospital by air ambulance after falling from a bridge in Leeds.
A police patrol officer found the woman on the wrong side of a bridge on Sharp Lane, Robin Hood, over the M1. The motorway was closed in both directions between junctions 44 and 42.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “A short time later, the woman fell from the bridge and was taken to hospital by air ambulance. Her injuries are not described as life-threatening. The motorway was fully reopened at 12.44am.”
