A serious crash involving four vehicles has led to the closure of a section of the M60 motorway. The clockwise lanes between J6 (Sale) and J9 (near Trafford Park) are currently shut as police deal with the situation. The closure was initiated in the morning following a significant collision, causing traffic congestion as local diversions are in place.

Greater Manchester Police have requested any witnesses or individuals with relevant information to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation. Sadly, a 62-year-old man passed away after his vehicle, a gold Renault, collided with the central reservation on the M60. The Serious Collision Investigation Unit is actively seeking information from anyone who may have seen the incident or possesses dash cam footage.

National Highways has issued warnings of extended delays due to the closure, advising motorists to allow extra time for their journeys. The agency has been diverting traffic and managing the situation to reduce disruptions. As of now, the investigation work continues on the M60, and there is no specific time for the motorway to reopen.

Drivers are facing significant delays approaching the affected area, with estimated delays of around an hour. The closure is impacting traffic flow on the south-west stretch of the M60, and the exact duration of the closure remains uncertain. National Highways and the police are actively managing the situation, with updates being provided to keep drivers informed.
