Two separate crashes block parts of the M60 motorway in Greater Manchester, leading to long delays for drivers. Reports describe the motorway being closed in different locations and on different carriageways, with traffic building into multi-mile queues.
The outlets broadly agree that the incidents occur near junction 15 and are affecting both directions of travel, with vehicles experiencing delays as the closures restrict normal movement. The Mirror reports that both clockwise and anticlockwise carriageways are impacted, contributing to around four miles of tailbacks. Manchester Evening News similarly focuses on an M60 blockage near junction 15, while the Daily Express describes a “double crash” producing comparable queue lengths.
While the accounts align on the main facts—two crashes, motorway blockage, and significant congestion—emphasis varies between sources, with some highlighting live traffic updates and others focusing on the size of the tailbacks. All report that the situation is ongoing and that delays remain in place as the motorway is managed following the collisions.
