There are 30 minute delays on the M60 this afternoon following a multi-car crash.
The smash involved ‘at least four cars’, according to National Highways, who manage the country’s motorways. It happened on the anti-clockwise side of the M60, between junctions 10 and 11.
Junction 10 is for Trafford Park, while Junction 11 is for Irlam. There are around five miles of congestion after one lane of the motorway was closed, National Highways has said.
