The pensioner was freed by firefighters after the three-car pile-up on Bar Lane, Midgley, near Netherton, at around 2pm.

Crews from Skelmanthorpe and Ossett were called to the scene, where the man was freed before being taken to hospital.

However, bus companies running through the area say services are being diverted via Middlestown, with emergency services saying the road could be shut for some time.
