THERE are long delays on the M60 and M61 following an incident involving an overturned car.

Three cars and a van crashed on the northbound M61 between Junctions 2 and 3 at 10.15am.

One man managed to rescue himself from the overturned car and suffered a slight injury to his right arm that needed hospital treatment.

Fire crews made the scene safe and police close off some of the lanes to enable the crashed vehicles to be recovered.

Traffic was crawling along the link between the M60 northbound at junction 15 and the M61 at Kearsley for at least an hour.

The disruption had a knock-on effect for traffic travelling clockwise along the M60.
