Investigation underway following two vehicle RTC on M6 in Haydock

Four people were taken to hospital following a two-vehicle collision on the M6 last night, Monday 28 April.

At around 9.10pm, officers were called to between Junctions 22 and 23 Northbound at Haydock to reports of a collision involving a Toyota Yaris and a BMW.

The driver of the Toyota, a woman in her 50s, and the driver of the BMW, a man in his 30s, were both taken to hospital with suspected multiple fractures. The front seat passenger of the BMW, a man in his 40s, suffered a hand injury and the rear seat passenger in the BMW, a man in his 30s, suffered a facial injury.

At this stage none of the injuries are believed to be life threatening. All four remain in hospital.

An investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing.  The motorway has since reopened.

Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, Lead Investigating Officer from Merseyside Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “At this stage we are seeking to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision.

“We believe there were a number of vehicles who may have witnessed the collision but left the scene without stopping or passing their details prior to police arrival. I would ask those drivers or passengers to contact us as a matter of urgency.

“I would also ask anyone who was driving on either carriageway of the M6 between J22 and 23 who thinks they captured something significant on their dashcam to get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC, contact SCIU on 0151 777 5747, or email SCIU@merseyside.police.uk quoting reference number 25000352179.
