A STAR reader has just sent in this picture of a lorry jackknifed on the M62 between junctions six Knowsley Expressway and seven at St Helens Linkway.

There is congestion back to junction five at Huyton.

It is affecting traffic between Liverpool and Warrington and surrounding roads are also congested.

There is a diversion in place along the Knowsley Expressway southbound, east on the A562 towards Widnes then north to re-join M62 at junction seven.

An air ambulance is also at the scene.
