Drivers stuck on M62 as hit by heavy snow over night

Heavy snow caused chaos on the M62 motorway near Littleborough, UK, overnight into Friday, March 10.
A driver said: “When we were there around 30-40 lorries and cars were stuck/struggling to get any further our side, We did finally get past, luckily, thank God for 4-wheel drive.”
Local media reported that drivers had been stuck for up to seven hours, with some forced to abandon their cars.
A National Highways statement, cited in local media, said: “Heavy snowfall caused hours of delays between junctions 21 (Milnrow) and 22 (Denshaw) in the early hours of the morning and lane closures were put in place in both directions.”
A spring cold snap has brought heavy snow to parts of England and Wales since Wednesday.
The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for snow and ice for areas near Manchester/Leeds and parts of Wales on Friday.
