A CAR crash has caused the closure of a road in both directions in Leigh.

Atherleigh Way has been shut both ways following a two-car collision on Kirkhall Lane near the junction to the Asda Supercentre.

Traffic has backed up on Twist Lane, Parsonage Way, Findlay Street, Westleigh Lane and Nel Pan Lane after the 9.15am crash.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said no-one was seriously injured.
