M62 motorway junction closed due to candlelit vigil for man killed by police
A slip road junction of the M62 is currently closed due to a candlelit vigil for a man shot and killed by police.
On Monday night, Mohammed Yassar Yaqub was shot and killed by West Yorkshire Police in a 'pre planned operation' on the westbound Junction 24 slip road off the M62.
Tonight, the same exit for Huddersfield is closed - due to a 'peaceful and respectful' protest at the same location.
Highways England tweeted: "#M62 J24 wb exit for #Huddersfield is closed for Police Incident. Pls allow extra time and road users may wish to use an alternative route."
