Several roads in Bradford have been closed off after a serious collision left at least one person injured, West Yorkshire Police have confirmed.
The crash prompted officers to shut down a number of routes in the area while emergency services dealt with the incident. Drivers were urged to avoid the affected roads and find alternative routes where possible.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed the closures were put in place following what they described as a serious injury collision, though full details of exactly how many vehicles were involved or the precise location within Bradford have not yet been released.
Road closures following major incidents like this are standard procedure, giving paramedics and officers space to work safely at the scene and allowing investigators to gather evidence before the roads are reopened.
Bradford has seen a number of serious road incidents in recent years, putting pressure on local authorities and police to improve safety on some of the city’s busier routes.
Anyone with information about the collision, or who may have dashcam footage from the area, is encouraged to contact West Yorkshire Police. Updates on when the road closures will be lifted are expected to follow once the scene has been cleared and any investigation work completed.
Motorists in the Bradford area are advised to check local traffic updates before travelling and to expect delays while the closures remain in place.
