This was the wreckage left behind after a lorry overturned on a busy motorway link road near Wigan. Police rushed out to the Orrell Interchange, which links the M6 and M58 motorways, in the early hours of this morning (November 26).
The lorry smashed into a bridge and overturned on the westbound carriageway before 4.45am. North West Motorway Police says the driver, who was not injured in the crash, has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
The driver remains in police custody this evening. Drivers have been unable to use the Orrell Interchange heading from the M6 southbound to the M58 westbound since the collision.
