Police are searching for witnesses or dashcam footage of a fatal collision on the M62 last night.
At around 11.30pm, officers and other emergency services responded to the fatal road traffic collision between junction 19 and 18 (Middleton) of the M62.
An Audi A5 S line car was travelling on the M62 before it came off the carriageway and collided with a bridge. It is believed that no other vehicles were involved.
The 24-year-old male driver died from his injuries at the scene.
This section of the motorway is still closed whilst enquiries continue, and delays are expected to continue into today.
Motorists are advised to find alternative routes and plan if they can.
Detective constable Rachael Stafford from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) said; “Since we became aware of the incident last night, we deployed officers to the scene and are now in a position to appeal to any members of the public who were on that stretch of road last night and can help with our enquiries, this could include those who have access to dashcam footage.
“At the heart of this is a man that has sadly lost his life in tragic circumstances and family and friends who are now having to come to terms with losing a loved one this morning.”
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to call 0161 856 4741 or 101 quoting incident 3219 of 02/02/2025. Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
