Strong wind blows lorries over
Drivers faced disruptions after a spate of lorry accidents in Yorkshire on Thursday, some due to strong winds.

Two lorries were blown over on the A1(M) in North Yorkshire close to the A59 junction, causing northbound lanes to be closed while a vehicle was removed.

The M62 westbound at East Cowick in East Yorkshire was down to one lane.

Meanwhile, one of the main commuter routes into Leeds was blocked after an accident on the A61 Harrogate Road at Harewood.

Police are warning of severe delays and congestion.
