A SECTION of the M61 motorway was closed due to a collision earlier today
The lane was closed in both direction on junction 6 from Horwich and Chorley to Bolton West and Rivington Services after, according to Lancashire Police, a vehicle driving southbound collided with the central reservation at around 12.30pm.
As a result the section of the road was closed with traffic officers and recovery officers having attended the scene.
Police confirmed later that afternoon that the incident log had been closed and so the road should have returned to normal.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
