The motorway was closed for several hours on Saturday afternoon in order for the emergency services to treat Frankie and her family as well as for an investigation of the scene to be carried out.
Greater Manchester Police have appealed for any witnesses who saw the collision to come forward and have also thanked the “selfless” members of the public who helped.
Sergeant Matt Waggett from GMP Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: "Firstly, I would like to thank the members of the public who selflessly helped at the scene and called 999, as well as those who assisted when police and emergency services arrived on scene.
"I urge anyone who may have witnessed this incident to please come forward and share any footage, dashcam or mobile footage, with police.
"No matter how small you think it is, it could prove vital to our investigation."
Anyone who wants to help the family can donate to their GoFundMe page here.
