The man who died in the collision on the M60 this morning has been named as 49-year-old Mohammed Amin from Bolton.

Police were called to the M60 motorway, between junctions 18 and 19, to reports of a three car collision shortly after 3:35am this morning.

Mr Amin was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were taken to hospital for treatment, one with a critical head injury and one with other serious injuries.

A black Audi A3 had been travelling on the carriageway when it was involved in a collision with the central reservation before coming to a stop in the middle lane.

Police are now appealing for the driver of an unknown car to come forward. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the driver, but officers think they may be able to help them with their investigation.

The unknown car drove past a short time after the initial accident and pulled up on the hard shoulder, surveyed the scene and then drove off.

Minutes later the Audi was involved in a further collision with a Ford Focus and a VW Caddy van.
