Traffic was brought to a complete standstill on the motorway bridge near the Trafford Centre on Sunday evening. All drivers were stopped and all three lanes were temporarily closed on the anticlockwise carriageway on the M60 between junctions 8 and 9.
For a short while, all three lanes were closed at around 8.30pm after a vehicle and a trailer had overturned in the middle of the carriageway. Shortly afterwards, at around 9pm, one lane was reopened for long queues to slowly drive past the incident as two others remained closed.
Traffic Highways North West confirmed the incident and that all traffic was brought to a halt causing one mile of congestion into the evening. Drivers saw delays of around 30 minutes as lines of cars continued to grow.
