Huge tailbacks were seen near the Trafford Centre as traffic was brought to a complete standstill on the M60.
Drivers were held on the anti-clockwise carriageway of the motorway between Junctions 8 and 9 on Sunday evening as emergency services were called to the scene.
It came after a vehicle and a trailer overturned in the middle of a carriageway, causing all three lanes to be closed for a short time, the MEN reports. Shortly afterwards, at around 9pm, one lane was reopened for long queues to slowly drive past the incident as two others remained closed.
