Huddersfield,—West Yorkshire Police have cordoned off a major road in Huddersfield town centre following an ongoing incident near McDonald’s on Kirkgate. The closure, which has seen several police vehicles and ambulances attend the scene, has disrupted traffic in the area since just after noon today.
While the police have yet to confirm specific details, it is believed that a collision may have occurred. Officers quickly erected police tape from the junction near McDonald’s extending down to Cross Church Street, sealing off the road entirely.
The road closure is expected to cause significant delays for motorists and pedestrians in Huddersfield’s busy town centre. Disruptions are likely to continue for several hours. Local authorities have urged the public to avoid the area while emergency services are on site.
