## Resource

Traffic chaos erupts on the M60 this morning after a major collision between junctions 16 and 17 heading clockwise, snarling traffic all the way to junction 13 and even impacting the M61 southbound. Emergency services are on scene as authorities shut down lanes and then halted all traffic, causing massive delays and frustration for commuters. Queues are now stretching across both directions, and drivers are urged to find alternate routes or prepare for a long wait as crews work to clear the scene.
