Man Dies in M60 Crash, Causes Major Traffic Jam

0:00On April 8th, a man lost his life in a heartbreaking incident on the M-60 anti-clockwise at Barton Bridge this past Wednesday, April 8th, forcing a full motorway shutdown through the morning. Police got a call about a concern for welfare involving the guy, and they held all traffic while closing things down between Junction 11 at Eccles. And Junction 10, near the Trafford Center, drivers dealt with serious backups, seven miles of gridlock stretching back to Junction 17 for Whitfield, with delays dragging on for at least. One hour until around 10am, emergency teams rolled in heavy police, firefighters, paramedics, all hands on deck, and cops told everyone to steer clear if they could. Next of kin are informed and getting support from officers, and there's no sign of anything suspicious, just a tough reminder of how fragile things can get out there on the roads.
