A motorway junction is closed after a collision.
The southbound M66 was closed for a large part of the night between Junction 3 and and the M60/M62 Junction 18 Simister Island interchange.
It’s now been reopened but is still shut within the junction, and access to Simister Island is still closed from the M66.
National Highways say that police investigations are likely to last all morning.
