“All emergency services are currently on site, including the Northwest Police Group, national highways, traffic officers are also on site, helping to manage traffic. Please note that the connection from the M60 clockwise to the M62 to the west is also closed due to this incident. “
East traffic at the time of the accident was diverted by a solid triangle diversion symbol, according to national highways, and drivers were urged to leave the M62 at J11 and rejoin at the M60 / M602 junction. Traffic services say the collision and closure caused major delays on neighboring routes, with the M60 jammed at a 17-12 counterclockwise intersection and traffic jams on the M61.
