A lorry fire sparked huge 10-mile queues on the M62 this morning.
The eastbound carriageway of the motorway was first closed off just after 4.30am after the blaze broke out. Fire crews were called to the scene between junction 19 for Middleton and junction 20 for Rochdale.
The blaze has now been extinguished, but the lorry needs to be recovered from the scene. The road will also need to be resurfaced, Highways England said.
