Both carriageways of the motorway were closed for approximately an hour due to the ‘police incident’ on Saturday night (June 5).
Police were called to a bridge on Broadway just before 7.30pm on Saturday.
Greater Manchester Police have since said a man later fell from the bridge.
He was taken to hospital by ambulance with what were described as "potential life-changing injuries”.
The M60 was closed in both directions between junction 22 for Oldham and junction 23 for Ashton as emergency crews attended the scene.
A spokesperson confirmed earlier today that the man was “still in hospital in a life-threatening condition”.
