Motorcyclist Dies in M60 Multi‑Vehicle Crash as Two Drivers Are Arrested During Wider Motorway Disruption

Police are appealing for dashcam footage in a collision investigation.

Overview

  • The M60 crash near J15–J16 on Sunday evening involved three cars and a motorbike, and the rider, a man in his 60s, died at the scene according to Greater Manchester Police.
  • Two car drivers, men in their 20s and 30s, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remain in custody for questioning.
  • Both carriageways of the M60 were closed for investigation work, with some restrictions lasting into Monday morning before lanes reopened.
  • On the M6 southbound near Walsall overnight, a collision between two lorries left one driver hospitalised with potentially serious injuries and caused long delays during recovery and an oil spill cleanup.
  • Separate incidents over the weekend, including a vehicle fire on the M25 between J22 and J23 and a fire and collisions on the M62 near Brighouse and Huddersfield, led to temporary holds and lane closures.
