What the sources said
- Slow traffic, Accident
- Overhead signs read “COLLISION SLOW DOWN” (1 sign; furthest along: M62 J25 eastbound exit).
- Overhead signs read “M62 J25-J26 COLLISION” (1 sign; e.g. M62 eastbound between J22 and J23). Marker placed near M62 J25–J26 using the signs there, so it is approximate.
