A man has sadly died after a BMW crashed on the M6 motorway then caught fire, police have revealed today.
The Manchester Evening News reported last week the man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after the car collided with the central reservation. Firefighters also confirmed they were called to extinguish a subsequent fire in the boot of the car.
An air ambulance and other emergency services were scrambled to the scene at around 5.10pm on February 14, near junction 26, heading northbound around Orrell, near Wigan.
