Drove past this earlier southbound during cleanup operation, Motorway closed for most of the night. Thoughts go out to the family of the man who was involved in what is such a terrible way to go under any circumstances.

Two Class 1’s parked up and a few cars at the scene, either witnesses/involved… hope everyones okay.

Aye me too.
The traffic was back to Charnock as they were throwing everyone off at 28.
My advice is to go around the 60 and up the 61,that will keep you clear of it and only cost 10 minutes if it’s flowing.

Leyland was grid locked with everyone leaving 28, then onto the a49 wigan road to head back on at 29. Like your suggestion use the 61 or go the other way through Leyland, Farrington then on at 29, just the western route really but not every man and his dog knows that one!
