THE M62 Eastbound has reopened this morning after a full day of repair works were carried out yesterday.
The M62 was closed headed eastbound yesterday due to a serious collision, which it was later revealed had lead to the fatality of a 61 year old man from The Wirral.
After this, repairs were required to the barrier, but also the road itself.
As a result of the crash, diesel had spilled over the entire road for a stretch - which required the road to be relayed in entirety over a large section.
As a result, workers toiled until the early hours of this morning, Sunday April 30, where the motorway was reopened.
