A MAJOR motorway has been shut after a crash involving eight lorries and cars, leaving “beer barrels and fuel tanks” strewn across the road.
The M60 in Greater Manchester has been closed in both directions between J25 Bredbury Interchange (A560) and J1 Pyramid Roundabout (A5145) after a multi-vehicle crash involving four lorries and four cars.
Greater Manchester Police, Manchester Fire & Rescue, North West Ambulance Service, National Highways traffic officers, and maintenance crews are at the scene.
Fortunately, only minor injuries have been reported from the collision.
However, the road will remain closed in both directions for some time due to the amount of debris and the recovery of several badly damaged lorries.
