M60 crash driver who died after three-car pile-up near Manchester named as Mohammed Amin

A DRIVER killer in a horror three-car pile-up on the M60 has been named.

Mohammed Amin, 49, from Bolton, was driving a black Audi A3 on the anti-clockwise stretch of the motorway in Greater Manchester when his car hit the central reservation yesterday.

Authorities were called to the M60, between the junctions 18 and 19, about 3.30am to reports of a crash.

Mr Amin's Audi came to a stop in the middle lane - but was then hit by a Ford Focus and a VW Caddy van.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and his loved ones are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Greater Manchester Police said an unknown car pulled up on the hard shoulder and ‘surveyed the scene’ before driving off after the Audi hit the central reservation barrier.

That was before the collision involving the two other vehicles.

Police are appealing for the driver of that vehicle to come forward, but stressed there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.

The anti-clockwise carriageway was closed for around eight hours for accident investigation work. The stretch reopened at around 11am.

PC Paul Joynson said: “We have been carrying out numerous enquiries since the tragic events of this morning and now have further information.

“It appears that there was an initial collision involving the Audi prior to a second collision involving a further two vehicles.
