MOTORISTS suffered long delays on Monday night after a rush hour smash on the M61.
A car and a fuel tanker collided on the inside lane of the motorway at around 5.45pm.
Although, neither driver suffered any injuries, fire crews and police were called to the scene to make sure the tanker was safe.
It caused long tailbacks on the northbound carriageway between junctions 4 and 5 for Westhoughton.
