Update - M60 traffic: Greater Manchester motorway shut on clockwise side between Sale and Trafford Park after crash - diversion routes
One side of a motorway is still closed almost six hours after a serious crash.
The clockwise carriageway of the M60 has been shut in Greater Manchester between Junction 6 for Sale and Junction 9 for Trafford Park.
The accident happened at about 5am but at the moment there is no indication of when the road will be reopened.
National Highways said earlier today: “If you're heading M60 clockwise, please be aware there are long delays on approach with congestion back to J3. If you're caught up within the closure, traffic is being turned via the rear of the queue.”
