Police are appealing for information following a fatal collision involving a car driving in the wrong direction on the M62. West Yorkshire police received a report at 2.06am on Saturday of a Vauxhall Corsa travelling westbound on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway. But when officers deployed to locate the vehicle, they found that it had collided with a VW Golf close to the Scammonden Bridge. The male driver of the Corsa was pronounced dead at the scene, while the male driver of the Golf suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital for further treatment. Authorities closed both carriageways between junctions 22 and 24 for much of Saturday morning. The major collision inquiry team is investigating and has asked for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with footage of the collision, or of the grey Vauxhall Corsa before the crash, should contact police by phoning 101.
