A serious accident between two HGV's and a number of cars happened earlier this afternoon at around 3:40pm, close to the Prestwich and Whitefield Junction 17 turn off.
The crash saw huge traffic delays which affected as far back to the Salford & Kearsley turn off at Junction 16.
Motorway police closed the carriage way which caused traffic to queue for miles causing a knock on effect along other routes.
It was around 5pm that the motorway reopened and the congestion start to clear from 5:45pm.
It is unclear at this point if anyone was injured as a result of the collision.
