Crash shuts bypass

Date published: 12 November 2008


TRAFFIC came to a standstill when three vehicles were involved in a smash on Oldham Way.

A motorcyclist skidded on the slippery surface, possibly diesel, shortly after 9am yesterday. Two cars were then involved in a subsequent crash.

No-one was injured in the accident which happened close to the King Street slip road. One lane of the Mumps-bound carriageway was closed for around 15 minutes.
