A woman has suffered 'life-changing injuries' after an incident on the M66 last night.
Emergency services scrambled to the M66 southbound, between junctions one and two, on Saturday evening (October 15) at around 5:30pm. Their presence was triggered by the police receiving a ‘concern of welfare’ report.
The motorway was closed for some time due to the incident, reopening shortly before 8pm. At one point, there was two miles of congestion due to the closure.
