Road re-opened after smash
A ROAD on a major route has now re-opened after a three-car-pile-up.
The westbound carriageway of the A580 East Lancashire Road, Haydock Island, is now open, but queues were still expected.
It was closed from 2.10pm on Thursday as engineers from the Highways Agency moved three vehicles.
