BREAKING: Long delays as two lanes shut on M60 after 'multi-vehicle' crash - latest updates
. Two lanes of traffic are currently closed on the clockwise carriageway between junction 16 for Pendlebury and 17 for Prestwich and Whitefield.
A spokesperson for National Highways North West wrote on Twitter: "Lanes three and four are CLOSED on the M60 clockwise between J16 and J17 due to a multi vehicle collision. Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are in attendance. "There are currently delays of 20 mins and approx three miles of congestion." Queues have grown to around 45 minutes through the area, according to the Inrix traffic monitoring system.
It says the crash involves a car and a van. The incident was first reported at around 4.20pm, Inrix says.This is a live event. Follow the latest updates below.

Organ and cell-specific biomarkers of Long-COVID identified with targeted proteomics and machine learning - Molecular MedicineBackground Survivors of acute COVID-19 often suffer prolonged, diffuse symptoms post-infection, referred to as “Long-COVID”. A lack of Long-COVID biomarkers and pathophysiological mechanisms limits effective diagnosis, treatment and disease surveillance. We performed targeted proteomics and machine learning analyses to identify novel blood biomarkers of Long-COVID. Methods A case–control study comparing the expression of 2925 unique blood proteins in Long-COVID outpatients versus COVID-19 inpatients and healthy control subjects. Targeted proteomics was accomplished with proximity extension assays, and machine learning was used to identify the most important proteins for identifying Long-COVID patients. Organ system and cell type expression patterns were identified with Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the UniProt Knowledgebase. Results Machine learning analysis identified 119 relevant proteins for differentiating Long-COVID outpatients (Bonferonni corrected P | 0.01). Protein combinations were narrowed down to two optimal models, with nine and five proteins each, and with both having excellent sensitivity and specificity for Long-COVID status (AUC = 1.00, F1 = 1.00). NLP expression analysis highlighted the diffuse organ system involvement in Long-COVID, as well as the involved cell types, including leukocytes and platelets, as key components associated with Long-COVID. Conclusions Proteomic analysis of plasma from Long-COVID patients identified 119 highly relevant proteins and two optimal models with nine and five proteins, respectively. The identified proteins reflected widespread organ and cell type expression. Optimal protein models, as well as individual proteins, hold the potential for accurate diagnosis of Long-COVID and targeted therapeutics.
