Furious drivers report there being 'madness' on the M60 late last night and through the early hours of this morning. Motorists say they were unnecessarily stuck on the motorway for hours, when part of it was closed for roadworks.
There were reports of minor collisions, cars on the hard shoulder blocking ambulances - and delays of up to five hours '- for 'some cones and no one working'. And, despite its 'smart motorway' status, drivers claim there were no warnings given about the road closure between J17 and J18 - with tailbacks to J15.
As a result, drivers say they weren't able to avoid the closure - and ended up stuck in frustratingly slow traffic for hours. Worse still, there were reports of cars driving on the hard shoulder and blocking ambulances.
