Delays on M62 between junctions 21 and 22 eastbound following crash and vehicle fire

National Highways says there are significant delays after the crash involving three vehicles this afternoon.

One vehicle caught fire and although it’s now been extinguished there has been a fuel spillage across the carriageway.

All three lanes are blocked but traffic is passing the crash scene via the hard shoulder.

However, significant journey delays are expected, and road users are advised to plan their journeys and avoid the area if possible.
