Vicar Lane is situated across from the Kirkgate Market and not far from the Corn Exchange. Kirkgate market remains open, despite the road closures.

The blockage has led to bus route diverges, and people using public transport, motorists and drivers, were urged to take alternative routes.

According to @LeedsTravelInfo on X, the collision has now cleared on Vicar Lane and the road has fully opened to traffic again.

This situation is still unfolding, and further updates are expected.
