An urgent appeal for witnesses and information has been reissued as it was confirmed that a 38-year-old woman has died after a horror crash on the M66 near Bury.
The Serious Collision Unit at Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is urging members of the public to come forward with any information or footage that may be able to assist with ongoing investigations after officers were called to reports of a serious collision between two vehicles travelling southbound on the M66 in Bury on this past Saturday (13 May) at around 3:10pm.
Shortly after officers and emergency services arrived at the scene, a 38-year-old woman – who has been named as Frankie Hough, and was pregnant at the time of the incident – was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries.
Her children, Tommy, 9, and Rocky, 2, were also hospitalised after the crash, along with her four-year-old nephew Tobias – two of whom have serious injuries, and one with minor injuries.
Frankie sadly died in hospital yesterday (15 May) as a result of her injuries, GMP confirmed last night.

National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings
Daisy Jackson
The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
