One person was taken to hospital after a “concern for safety” on a major Calderdale route.

As reported by the Courier, the A646 Burnley Road was closed in both directions between Luddenden Foot and Mytholmroyd for several hours on Saturday afternoon and into Saturday evening.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust says the closure came after a “concern for safety incident” and that one person was taken to hospital.

An air ambulance was spotted in the area on Saturday afternoon.

The road closure caused traffic snarl-ups as drivers tried to find alternative routes.
