Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision on M60 Motorway
A fatal accident occurred on the M60 motorway on Thursday evening, resulting in the death of a man in his 60s. The collision involved a lorry, with a white cab and blue trailer, and four other vehicles. The incident took place between Junction 16 at Pendlebury and Junction 15 at the M61 Swinton Interchange at approximately 19:20 GMT.
According to Greater Manchester Police, the lorry struck two vehicles, crossed into the opposing carriageway, and then collided with two more vehicles. A woman in her 20s sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while several others suffered minor injuries.
