AN 81-year-old man had to be cut free from his car following a three car collision on the East Lancs which caused huge tailbacks.
A police spokesperson said the man’s injuries were serious but not life threatening.
The road was closed for several hours leading to traffic jams through Wigan and Newton-le-Willows following the incident between Haydock Island and Golborne Island at around 1.30pm yesterday (Sunday, December 22).
