Breaking News: Major Roadblock After Car-Lorry Collision - Live Updates
A serious accident has caused a major disruption on the A663 Broadway, and we're bringing you the latest developments.
The southbound section of the A663 Broadway is currently closed following a collision between a car and a lorry on Saturday morning. This incident has resulted in slow-moving traffic and a road closure between the A627 Elk Mill Roundabout and the A669.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the road remains partially blocked, there's a silver lining: no injuries have been reported. The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that both drivers were assessed at the scene and no hospital visits were necessary.
A spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) provided a detailed statement: "Just before 8 am this morning, a fire engine from Chadderton fire station responded to reports of a collision involving a car and a truck on Broadway, Chadderton. Our crew worked swiftly to make the area safe, collaborating with Greater Manchester Police. Both drivers were examined by the North West Ambulance Service at the scene."
And this is the part most people miss... Despite the road remaining closed, one lane on the northbound A663 Broadway has reopened. Inrix, a trusted traffic monitoring site, reports that the road is partially blocked, with slow traffic due to the accident.
