The M62 still remains closed in the eastbound direction. This has caused traffic to back up following the accident that involved one car this morning. Police attended the scene at Junction number 5 (A5080) on Roby Road in Huyton at 11am.

       A spokesperson from Merseyside Police said: "Police were called at 11am.

       "One vehicle had slipped on its side.

       "No injuries were reported.

       "The M62 is closed as officers recover the vehicle."

       The motorway is closed as police attempt to recover the vehicle.

       A traffic jam has now built up to Junction 4 (The Rocket).

       A diversion is in place via the entry and exit slips of the motorway at Junction 4.
