"There are long delays on the M60 anti-clockwise in Greater Manchester within J1 (Stockport) due to a multi vehicle collision. National Highways Traffic Officers are on scene. Recovery of the vehicles are taking place and lanes 2 and 3 (of 3) are currently closed.

"There are 5 miles of congestion on the M60 anti clockwise leading back to J5. There are also 7 miles of congestion on the M56 eastbound leading back towards J6. This is causing combined delays of 60 mins above normal travel time.
