Drivers are being warned to expect a second day of major disruption following a huge eight-vehicle crash on the M60<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Four lorries and four cars were involved<\/a> in a pile-up on the motorway near Stockport at around 11.30am yesterday (July 7).<\/p>\n

One of the lorries ploughed through the central reservation and struck multiple lampposts, another shed beer barrels onto the road and a large fuel spillage has needed to be cleared up.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported after the smash, Greater Manchester Police<\/a> said yesterday.<\/p>\n
