A major UK motorway is still closed 24 hours after an eight-vehicle crash which saw a lorry drive through the reservation.
Emergency services were called to the M60 just before 11.30am yesterday between junctions 27 at the Portwood roundabout and junction one at the Stockport Pyramid.
Both carriageways were forced to close, after four lorries and four cars crashed into each other.
One HGV also crashed through the central reservation and struck ‘several lamp columns in the process’.
Another dropped beer barrels it was carrying onto the roads, while diesel leaked onto the ground.
