India, July 10 -- An accident that has occurred last night between an overturned lorry and another vehicle has led to severe problems on the M61, injuring one driver and resulting in the closure of several roads, namely M61/M65. It took emergency services all morning to deal with the situation and return traffic to normal conditions while the level of congestion was quite moderate, the situation clearly demonstrates that just one collision on the motorway is enough to affect the lives of many people who use one of the busiest transportation arteries of the North West. The M61 is 22-mile motorway connecting Greater Manchester and M6 near Preston.
