Overview
- A vehicle overturned overnight on the M62 eastbound and the carriageway is closed between junction 20 and junction 22 while emergency services work on scene.
- Greater Manchester Police are conducting a collision investigation and say the road is expected to remain closed for several hours to preserve evidence.
- National Highways traffic officers are managing traffic and advising drivers from J20 to follow the Hollow Circle diversion and from J21 to follow the Solid Triangle diversion.
- Reporters and officials say a large amount of debris on the carriageway will make recovery protracted, and vehicles caught inside the closure have been turned around and released from the rear of the queue.
- Motorists should avoid the area where possible, follow the diversion symbols on signs to rejoin the route, and expect significant delays while investigation and clearance continue.
