Very advance Warning of Motorway Accident

Today, the Variable Message Signs (VMS) at M62 J8 were showing:

“A1(M) J48, Accident”

Considering that this is 69 miles away (as the crow flies) this has got to be applauded, except that they were unable to warn that the sliproads from the M602 to M60 were closed on Friday night, causing a 14 mile diversion, which could have been avoided by coming off the M602 at the junction before.
