MOTORISTS are being advised to avoid the M62 at Junction 9, Winwick, near Warrington as emergency services struggle to release a trapped lorry driver following a four-vehicle pile-up.
The eastbound carriageway – Manchester – has been closed and there is no access to the M6 at this junction.
Police say the accident occurred shortly after 8.35am on the eastbound carriageway.

The driver of the smaller lorry has suffered serious injuries and is trapped in his crushed cab. Efforts are going on to try and free him.
