Driver dies after M62 incident

A MAN died last night after suffering a suspected heart attack while driving on the M62.

His Vauxhall Insignia veered towards the central reservation, but the driver managed to bring the car to a halt on the hard shoulder.

Police, ambulance and fire services from Heywood and Ashton were called to the exit slip road at junction 20 westbound — Oldham and Rochdale — at around 11.30pm.

Firefighters used a defibrillitator before the man was taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
