Overview
- Fire crews extinguished a vehicle fire following a three-vehicle collision on the M62 eastbound near Junction 9, prompting full closures during the response.
- Westbound traffic reopened shortly before 4pm, while the eastbound side stayed shut for a period as police, firefighters and traffic officers completed work at the scene.
- Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said no one was trapped in the J9 vehicles and ambulance crews assessed one person at the scene.
- By the evening, emergency services had left the J9 incident and traffic along the affected stretch was reported to have returned to normal.
- In a separate incident earlier, a car left the M62-to-M6 slip at the Croft Interchange and hit trees down an embankment; firefighters reached the trapped driver and handed them to paramedics.
