A man has been killed after a crash on the M60 in the early hours of this morning.

Police say three cars were involved in a crash between J19 and J18, in the anticlockwise direction.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were taken to hospital, one with a critical head injury and one with other serious injuries.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the family of the man who tragically died this morning.

This is a devastating time for them and we are working to provide them with support from specially trained officers.
