Police are appealing for information following a serious collision on the M60.

A Ford Transit was travelling clockwise on the M60 at around 11am on Saturday (April 24).

Shortly after passing junction 17 and travelling under the bridge carrying Bury New Road, a man entered the carriageway.

He crossed one lane of traffic before colliding with the Ford Transit, which was in lane two.

The man then re-entered the carriageway before colliding with a lorry in lane one.

No arrests have been made.

The man, believed to be aged 45, was taken to hospital, where he remains with life-threatening injuries.

Sergeant Andrew Page of GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: "Our thoughts are with the man as he remains in hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

"If you witnessed this collision, have dash-cam footage or perhaps saw the man prior to the collision, please get in touch."

Information should be left with police on 0161 856 4741.
