The collision involved two cars, and a car towing a caravan on the A1M southbound between junctions 41 (M62) and Junction 40 near Ferrybridge.

It took place at about 12.35pm during the afternoon of Thursday August 29, after a Citroen C5 was in collision with a Kia Ceed in lane two. Both vehicles then entered lane one where the Kia collided with a Subaru Outback towing a caravan.

The people in the Citroen and the Kia suffered serious injuries, including a teenage girl who is in a life threatening condition in hospital with head injuries.

The crash resulted in a full closure of the A1 between the junctions while recovery work was carried out.
