(From NW Motorway Police Facebook site)
Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident which closed the northbound carriageway of the M6 this morning (Friday 22 March 2019).
The driver of an HGV was seriously injured when his vehicle left the carriageway at Junction 25 for Bryn, Wigan. The driver was taken to hospital where he sadly later died.
His family is being supported by specially trained officers.
Motorists faced delays after the northbound carriageway had to be closed and diversions put in place. The motorway has since reopened.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Greater Manchester Police on 101 quoting FWIN 318 22/03/2019 or PC Mark Milner 5495@merseyside.pnn.police.uk
