ONE lane of the M66 was blocked earlier tonight after a car skidded on water on the road.
The car spun and broke down between junction three at Hollins and junction four at Simister Island, where the M66 meets the M60 and M62.
The vehicle was blocking the second lane of the motorway but was moved onto the hard shoulder by around 7.35pm.
