Delays for motorists after three car smash on M62 motorway

A three car collision triggered a lane closure and delays at about 4.30pm today.

The smash happened on the M62 Eastbound at Junction 22.

A spokesman said: "The #M62 eastbound is BLOCKED within J22 due to a collision involving 3 cars. Our Traffic Officers are working to clear vehicles from the carriageway. There are delays of 25 minutes on approach."
