Following a recent spate of accidents on the M61 motorway, we have decided to take a look at the history of this road and the amount of car crashes or road traffic accidents that involve death or injury. This Legal Request article focuses on accidents on the M61.
Opened in the winter of 1968 (28th of November) the M61 was the result of a successful and major road planning exercise. Some 49 bridges needed to be constructed and even back in those days the environment was a consideration, as 300,000 tons of burnt colliery shale was used to cap open mine shafts. The planners for the M61 motorway were ahead of their time taking more than just the traffic into account. In terms of civil engineering this truly was a fantastic feet. You can learn more about the history of the M61 at this link.
Recent accidents on the M61 motorway have been caused by the inclement weather we have experienced. Snow and poor visibility have been contributing factors to accidents on the stretch of motorway.

I used the services of Legal request for a claim after a recent road traffic accident. Their representative was very helpful and informative, ensuring the process was as smooth as possible and stress free. The fact that they offered to come to my place of work for me to fill the forms in, saved me a lot of time and hassle. Above all legal request made a difficult situation very easy, I would certainly recommend their service to anyone who needs it.
