We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a man died in a collision on the M61 motorway.
The emergency services were called at 11.38pm yesterday (15th October) to the southbound carriage of the M61, near to Rivington Services.
Our officers attended and found that a Citroen C1 car travelling on the southbound carriageway had collided with a barrier and then been in collision with a Mercedes car which had also been travelling southbound.
A passenger in the Citroen – a man in his 20s – was very sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Citroen and another passenger suffered serious injuries. The driver of the Mercedes suffered serious injuries, and they were all taken to hospital for treatment.
Any witnesses or anyone with footage/information, please contact 101, quoting log 1497 of 15th October 2024, or email [email protected].
