A broken down truck has caused rush-hour misery for motorists on a stretch of the eastbound M62 this evening.
The goods vehicle came to a halt between junction 26 (Chain Bar) and junction 27 (Gildersome) at 5.50pm, blocking one of the three lanes.
It was towed away and the carriageway was clear again by 6.50pm, but queues snaked back past junction 26.
