Man killed in M602 crash in Manchester

A 61-year-old man has died after he crashed into a Highways England vehicle stopped on the hard shoulder of the M602 between Manchester and Salford, Greater Manchester Police said.

The crash happened just before 11:50 GMT and the motorway was closed between junctions one and two for a number of hours.

No arrests have been made and police investigations are ongoing.

Highways England announced that the motorway had reopened at about 18:00.

Greater Manchester Police have appealed for witnesses who might have seen the blue BMW moments before it crashed between junctions one and two.
