There are queues stretching more than four miles after a seven car pile-up on the M56 during rush hour. The multi-car crash happened on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway in Wythenshawe at around 4.30pm today.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said seven cars were involved in the smash between junction 4 for Wythenshawe and junction 3 for Benchill.
Initial reports indicate that no one has been seriously injured a GMP spokesperson said. Two lanes were closed as highways officers dealt with the aftermath. All vehicles were recovered with the lanes being re-opened shortly after 6pm.
