The Bury corridor and Simister Island connection
The M66 meets the M60 and M62 at Simister Island, making the exact road particularly important around the interchange. Tell us whether the vehicle is still on the M66 or has joined another carriageway or slip road.
Give northbound or southbound direction, the nearest junction you already know and a precise stopping location. A nearby Bury postcode may lead to a different road or the opposite carriageway, so it should not be used as a substitute for motorway location details.
Share the details from a safe position
Use the form’s current-location option only when safe. If you can already read a driver-location sign or marker, include that information; do not walk along the motorway to find one. Tell us whether you are in an emergency area or another stopping place and whether official assistance is managing the incident.
If the car has already been moved off the motorway, update the pickup to the actual road, forecourt or compound. Gate access, site opening times or release arrangements may then be needed before collection.
From the M66 to a garage or home
Provide a full destination address or postcode, the vehicle’s exact make and model and whether it runs and drives for loading. Missing, damaged or locked wheels must always be declared, even if the engine starts. Non-runners need extra rolling, neutral and handbrake information.
For a van, give the size and load details. Include passengers and any accessibility needs so capacity can be checked. Our team confirms the agreed transport price, suitable truck availability and estimated arrival before a booking is made.
Emergency instructions take priority
If you cannot reach a place of relative safety and cannot leave the vehicle safely, stay belted in, keep hazard lights on and call 999 for the police immediately. Do not try repairs or put a warning triangle on the motorway. Follow police or National Highways instructions at the scene before private recovery proceeds.
Good to know before collection.
Can you recover from the M66 near Bury?
We assess these requests using the precise stopping location, vehicle condition and destination. Suitable recovery availability and any incident restrictions must be checked.
Why do you ask if I have reached the M60 or M62?
At the Simister Island connection, the current motorway and carriageway determine the approach. Give the road where the vehicle is actually stopped, not only the route originally taken.
Can the vehicle be delivered outside Bury?
Send the full destination or postcode. We assess local and longer-distance onward transport for the agreed collection point and vehicle.
