A woman driving one of three cars involved in a Boxing Day M60 crash has been found at almost four times limit for alcohol, according to police.
One lane has been closed on the M60 anti-clockwise in Salford since around 9am, between junctions 13 at Worsley and 12 for the Eccles interchange.
Police say one of the drivers, who was behind the wheel of a silver Chevrolet, has now been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

The woman was breathalysed and gave a reading of 123, according to North West Motorway Police.
That is almost four times the legal limit for alcohol of 35.
Meanwhile, a black Audi Q7 which was involved in the collision, has been seized for having no insurance.
In a tweet earlier warning drivers about the crash, North West Motorway Police said: "Just taking reports of a three vehicle RTC in a live lane anti-clockwise at junction 13 on the M60 just on the approach to Eccles Interchange.
"Lane one is closed. Pay attention to your own driving and do not ignore the RED X in lane one while our patrols are in a live lane."
