The M62 – a ghost motorway

Pardon my English and the poor grammar used (in this very Americanised title) but this photo shows the M62, late rush-hour, last night.
As you can see… it’s dead.
Sadly, so are two people who were killed in the morning rush hour about 1 mile on from where the vanishing point is on my photo.
The BBC’s news report on the crash is here.
Last night I had to queue for approximately 40 minutes down a road which usually takes me about 3 minutes to travel down. Thankfully I knew a lot of back roads and once the main (and only) route had been used I could then drop onto the smaller less known routes and managed Batley to Leeds in about 15 minutes.
