A man was injured in a rush hour road accident which halted city centre traffic.

Police said a pedestrian was taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash near a church at the junction of Elland Road and Cemetery Road just before 7am today (Thursday).

The road was closed in both directions and motorists coming off the nearby M621 faced delays.

The road has since reopened.
