A dramatic picture shows the overturned lorry that sparked the full closure of the M60 at Barton Bridge this morning. The lorry fell onto the central reservation at around 7am as Storm Franklin battered the region with strong winds and heavy rain.
The driver escaped the crash with cuts to their head and a broken wrist, motorway police said. Barton Bridge has been closed off both ways all morning while emergency services work at the scene and repair work is carried out.
