Officers are investigating following a fatal collision on the M60 in Salford last night (Thursday 20 March), which also left several people injured.

- Officers are appealing for information after a man in his 60s died following a collision on the M60

- Several other people suffered minor injuries during the incident

- Investigators are appealing for information as they continue their work

At around 7pm, emergency services responded to reports of a road traffic collision anti-clockwise between junction 15 and 16, involving a heavy goods vehicle.

It is believed that the vehicle, a HGV with a white cab and blue trailer, had been travelling on the M60 when the vehicle lost control and collided into two vehicles. It then crossed into the opposing carriageway and collided with a further two vehicles, before coming to rest on the verge.

Sadly, the driver of one of the vehicles, a man in his 60s, died as a result of injuries from the collision.

A woman in her 20s suffered serious injuries not believed to be life-threatening, while several other people sustained minor injuries.

No arrests have been made.

Closures remain in place and drivers are advised to check for latest travel updates while planning their journey.

Officers from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are now investigating the incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

This includes anyone who witnessed the collision or has any relevant dashcam footage from around the time of the crash.

Police can be contacted via 101 or our Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log number 3043 of 20/03/25.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
