Delays after crash on M61 between Westhoughton and Horwich
The M61 was briefly disrupted between Westhoughton (J5) and Horwich (J6) heading southbound after the crash some time before half nine today (April 22).
National Highways reported delays against expected traffic of around 10 minutes but reported the vehicles were moved to the hard shoulder so “any delays should clear quickly”.
By around 10am, traffic data from Inrix showed that incident had been cleared and traffic soon returned to normal.
A spokesperson for National Highways confirmed the crash had been only a minor road traffic collision and the motorway was fully reopened soon after the accident.
