A man is critically ill in hospital after a crash involving a car which was being pursued by police on the M62.

West Yorkshire Police said the white Toyota Corolla had collided with a Peugeot 306 just before Junction 24 for Huddersfield at about 15:00 GMT on Saturday.

The Peugeot driver was taken to hospital and the four female occupants of the Toyota were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.

The motorway was closed in both directions for more than five hours following the incident, with National Highways reporting hour-long delays.
