THIS is the aftermath of a two car smash which closed the M66 in the early hours.
Police, fire and ambulance were called to the crash which happened between junctions one and two southbound just before 5.15am.
The crash involved a high powered Audi and a van.
It is understood that the people in the Audi fled the scene and maybe in need of medical attention.
Watch Manager Steve Wilcock said: “Two people managed to get out the Audi and get away over the fields.
"There is a lot of forensic evidence in the vehicle and police are investigating.
"The Police Helicopter was mobilised to scope out the area. There’s every chance the occupants will present at a hospital.”
The road was closed for an hour with the driver of the van treated on the scene by paramedics
