Kirkstall Road remains closed after that fatal accident in Leeds last night.

Many routes around the city are either very slow or at a standstill. Burley Road was badly affected by the closure, a short while ago traffic was still stacked up heading into town: 

Delays continue in Leeds after Kirkstall Road - one of the main routes into the city - was closed last night due to a fatal crash.

Here are the routes surrounding the closure - and, as you can see, there are a lot of red lines on there.

Red means standing traffic and usually at this time of day everything's calmed down. Not today...

There's no word from West Yorkshire Police or the council as to when Kirkstall Road will re-open but police have warned of "significant disruption".

The trial of Thomas Mair, who's accused of murdering West Yorkshire MP Jo Cox, will not go ahead today because of action by prison workers.

Thousands of prison officers in England have stopped work amid health and safety concerns, their union has said.

The Prison Officers Association said up to 10,000 members would take part in the day of protest, which would be "interpreted as a strike", after talks with the government broke down.

Thomas Mair, 53, allegedly repeatedly shot and stabbed the 41-year-old Batley and Spen MP outside her constituency surgery in Birstall on 16 June. 

The Old Bailey trial was due to hear the first witnesses in the case, but trial judge Mr Justice Wilkie adjourned the case until 10:30 on Wednesday because Mr Mair was not in the dock. 

The trial of Thomas Mair, accused of the murder of Batley MP Jo Cox, will not go ahead today because prison officers have stopped work.

Away from the traffic problems in Leeds, and to transport of a different kind:

The planned new route for HS2 will mean a tunnel almost half a mile long being built on the approach to Leeds, an MP has said.

Andrew Jones, minister for HS2 and Conservative MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, says it would be a "big change" to the way the rail line comes into Leeds.

The tunnel would run beneath Woodlesford in West Yorkshire.

The route through Sheffield is still being considered, but one option includes cutting through a housing estate still being built.

One word: Avoid.

It's fair to say that the roads around Kirkstall Road in Leeds - which is currently closed due to an accident overnight - are at a complete standstill this morning.

I confess I was stuck in it myself. The bus I was on didn't move for about 20 minutes on Burley Road, so I walked it.

And I still beat the bus...
