West Yorkshire Police confirm 19 people injured, 6 seriously, in crash between HGV and mini coach on M62

Best route i can find is to go onto the m60, get off on the m67 [Denton] then get on the A628 toward the M1. it's about 30 miles further but misses the M62 completely.

pig of a route (very pretty though)

although in the scheme of things probably not the worst, it's the one the world & his wife will be using though. from Wigan I'd go up to the M65 then A59 & hit the M1 just before York - from memory i think the a59 over the top is dual-carriage for long stretches

Arrived F & B 's Hull 2hrs 10 from Rochdale go north M1 then A63 A1 A614 M62 j35 good luck.

It might be a little late for people to change their plans, but I've just driven home on the eastbound m62, I leave at j32 which is just before where the accident was, and there was no queue or delay at all, if anything it was better than a 'normal' Friday.

Good turnout considering come on Wigan
