A young man who died after a car overturned in a crash on the M62[1] has been named. The crash, involving one car, happened on the westbound side of the motorway near junction 21 for Milnrow at around 10.30pm on Thursday, December 21. Police said the driver "lost control" before crashing into the central reservation, the MEN reports.[2][3]

The victim, a 19-year-old man, who was a passenger in the car has now been named as Adnan Malek. The driver, another 19-year-old man, suffered minor injuries, while another passenger escaped uninjured.
