Pictures show damage to a lorry after a ‘vehicle left the carriageway’ on the M62.
The incident happened on the eastbound carriageway at around 6.50am this morning (Tuesday), according to traffic alert service Inrix. Only one lane is currently running past the scene, from junction 18 for Simister Island to junction 19 for Heywood.
In a post shared by North West Motorway Police, pictures show the lorry with a smashed windscreen and heavily damaged bumper. In another image, the back of the HGV has slid off the carriageway and knocked down a barrier. Fortunately, the driver only suffered minor injuries.
