Traffic chaos in Arctic conditions
THREE people had to be cut free from a vehicle as part of traffic mayhem caused by the arctic weather in the area at the weekend.
What initially started out as a single vehicle collision on the M62 westbound between Junctions 38 and 37, around 3.35pm on Sunday, quickly turned into a multi-vehicle tangle which closed the road for several hours.
While traffic officers were dealing with the initial incident another three vehicles collided - one of which collided with a stationary and unoccupied Police Land Rover.
Fire and Rescue attended to cut free three occupants from one of the vehicles. The injured were taken to Doncaster Royal Infirmary and were later discharged having suffered only minor injuries.
No police officers were hurt but the police vehicle suffered severe damage.
The carriageway was reopened at 7.45pm.
