A MOTORWAY is down to two lanes and traffic is building after a crash near roadworks.

The collision has happened on the eastbound carriageway of the M62, between junction 27 (Gildersome) and junction 28 (Tingley).

It was first reported at 1.10pm, according to the AA.

One lane has had to be closed, as a result of the crash.

Lane four of the motorway was already closed due to roadworks in the area.

This disruption is causing congestion to build in the area.
