A full road closure was put in place between Junction 24 for Ainley Top and Junction 22 for Rishworth.

Officers worked with Highways England to clear the motorway and allow traffic flow.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire said: "An investigation is being carried out to determine the cause of the crash and enquiries are ongoing.

"Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or has any dashcam footage that may assist in the investigation to contact 101 quoting log 1041 of 16 March."
