Heavy downpours have wreaked havoc on the M65 this morning.
Police were called to multiple crashes between 10-30am and 11-30am as standing water on the motorway surface made driving conditions difficult.
A Peugeot 307 and a Honda CR-V were in collision on the eastbound carriageway near junction 12 while a Toyota Land Crusier and a white BMW estate also suffered minor smashes around the same junction.
