## Resource

Traffic chaos erupts on the M62 near Rochdale this morning as westbound lanes at junction 21 are fully blocked following a collision, causing massive delays stretching through the Pennines and into West Yorkshire. Eastbound traffic has cleared, but westbound drivers face stop-and-go conditions and forced diversions, spilling over onto the A672 toward Saddleworth. Officials warn delays will persist—plan ahead or reroute if heading through the area.
