APPEAL FOR WITNESSES - COLLISION ON M62

Police are appealing for information following a collision between pedal cycle and a lorry on the M62.

Roads Policing Officers would like to speak to anyone who saw or has footage of the collision which took place on the western carriageway of the M62 between junctions 29 and 30 at about 1.10am on Tuesday 19 December.

Anyone who saw or has footage of the incident is asked to contact officers at the Eastern Area Roads Policing Unit on 101 referencing police log 64 of December 19.
