M62 Fire Clears But Delays Remain

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A car fire erupted on the M62 eastbound near Rochdale, causing massive smoke and gridlock stretching to junction nineteen with delays up to 50 minutes. Thankfully, the fire is now out and delays have eased to around 30 minutes—still slow, but improving. A slip road at Rishworth Moor was briefly closed for a tire change but is now reopened. Dramatic footage showed flames shooting from a black SUV’s hood as thick black smoke billowed—classic highway chaos. If you’re headed east, brace for a crawl, but things are getting better.
