Major Incidents Cause Long Delays on UK Motorways

Major delays have affected UK motorways due to two serious incidents. On the M62 near J22 for Rishworth Moor, a van crashed into the central reservation and landed on top of another car, forcing the closure of two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane, with delays of up to three hours and significant wreckage reported. Emergency services have blocked the M62, leaving traffic at a standstill. Meanwhile, on the M60 between Sale and Stretford, police responded to an incident at a nearby bridge, leading to hours-long queues and warnings that delays could persist until after midnight. Authorities have advised motorists to seek alternative routes and expressed gratitude for the public's patience as they work to resolve the incidents safely.
