The M56 motorway approaching Manchester was hit by long traffic queues after a crash involving two cars today. Two lanes on the major motorway were closed on the eastbound carriageway near junction six, at the Hale Four Seasons roundabout.

Congestion to J7 (Bowdon). Lanes one and two (of four) remain closed after traffic was held in all the four lanes to allow the Traffic Officers assist."
