A man aged 62 passed away following an incident where his vehicle collided with the central reservation on the M60 earlier today, resulting in serious injuries. Greater Manchester Police are requesting any potential witnesses to provide information about the four-vehicle crash that occurred at approximately 5:35 am between Junction 8 and Junction 9. The man was driving a gold Renault that crashed into the central reservation before being taken to the hospital, where he later died. Authorities suspect a possible medical issue may have contributed to the accident.
To manage the situation, a significant section of the motorway was shut down from junctions 6 to 9, causing traffic congestion during peak hours. A distressed lorry was also observed on the M60 after hitting the central reservation in the morning. National Highways advised drivers to anticipate prolonged delays as the motorway reopened, suggesting extra travel time for commuters. The incident has been resolved, with the clockwise lanes between Junction 6 and Junction 9 gradually reopening.
