THE M62 motorway west of Hull was closed in both directions after a lorry overturned on the Ouse Bridge near Howden as high winds battered East Yorkshire.
Delays were reported in both directions between Junction 36, A164 (Goole), and Junction 37, A614 (Howden), as police set up diversions.
Drivers were being asked to follow triangle symbols westbound and a solid square symbol eastbound.
Emergency services attended but it is not thought the driver was seriously injured.
Earlier the same motorway was closed near Castleford by a four-vehicle crash.
The accident involved two lorries, a car and a transit van.
The 5.20am smash closed the motorway between Junction 30 Rothwell and Junction 31 Castleford eastbound and Junction 32 Castleford and Junction 31 westbound. Police later re-opened two lanes to allow traffic to flow.
