THE M62 has reopened after a serious crash this morning.
One woman has been taken to Aintree Hospital after she was found unconcious at the scene.
The accident happened westbound between junction seven at Widnes and junction eight at Burtonwood and police and Highways England closed the whole carriageway at 8.30am.
An ambulance and three rapid response teams were called to the scene at 7.05am after a car had come off the carriageway and hit a tree.
The closure was put in place to allow police investigations to take place, but one lane reopened at 1pm.
Merseyside Police’s roads policing unit are appealing for information following the incident.
Anyone with information should contact the Matrix roads policing team on 0151 777 5747.
