MOTORISTS faced rush-hour delays this morning after a lorry shed its load of milk.

A lorry overturned on the westbound M62 near junction 12 for the M60 Eccles Interchange.

Three lanes of the M62 were currently for three hours, causing delays on the surrounding road network.

Traffic queued on the anti-clockwise M60 as far as Prestwich and drivers were warned they could be delayed by 45 minutes.

The lorry was cleared from the scene at about 9.30am and traffic flow is returning to normal.
