M60 full diversion routes as motorway to remain closed 'for some time' following eight-vehicle crash
Major diversions are in place after an eight-vehicle crash took place on the M60 this morning. No one was seriously injured in the crash. There are severe delays on the M60 after an eight-vehicle crash shut the motorway in both directions. The road is expected to remain closed for a substantial amount of time.
The multi-vehicle collision involved four heavy goods vehicles and four cars but resulted in only minor injuries. Emergency services responded to the scene between junctions 27 at the Portwood roundabout and junction one for the Stockport Pyramid just before 11.30am on July 7. One HGV crossed through the central reservation and struck several lamp columns. Another HGV shed its load of beer barrels into the carriageways, causing several ruptured fuel tanks leaking diesel.
The closure is expected to last for 'some time', with drivers advised to find alternative routes. National Highways stated that the road will remain closed in both directions due to infrastructure damage, spillage, debris cleanup, and recovery of damaged vehicles.
Diversion routes have been set up for clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. Drivers are urged to allow extra journey time if impacted by the incident. For more information, visit the National Highways website or contact their 24/7 center at 0300 123 5000.
