A 38-year-old woman has died following a serious collision on the M66 in Bury.

Emergency services were called to the scene between junction 3 & 4 on Saturday afternoon. 

The woman, who's been named locally as Frankie Hough passed away from her injuries in hospital earlier today (Monday). 

Her family and loved ones are currently being supported by specialist officers and support services at this incredibly difficult time.

A 22-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

Adil Iqbal of Hope Street, Accrington was charged with one count of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He appeared at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court this afternoon and was further remanded into custody to appear in  court a later date.

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses, dash cam footage and information, and wish to extend thanks to those who have already made contact.
