Storm Christoph has been blamed for a crash which badly damaged a Ferrari supercar.

Highways England shared a picture of the sports car on its roof, having smashed through a barrier on the M621 near Leeds.

The crash led to the temporary closure of the motorway, but it has since reopened.

#M621 anti-clockwise J1 #Beeston to J27 #M62 lane 1 is currently closed to facilitate the recovery of vehicles involved in a collision.
