Major Lorry Smash Sparks Chaos on M6 Northbound
A nasty collision involving two lorries has brought the M6 northbound to a crawl today. The crash happened between junction 18 (Holmes Chapel) and junction 19 (Tabley), leaving a huge spillage on the carriageway and causing gridlock for miles.
Road Closure Causes Massive Tailbacks
- Collision Details: Two lorries crashed head-on, spilling debris across the road.
- Lane Closures: Lanes 1, 2, and 3 are shut to speed up recovery and clean-up operations.
- Traffic Flow: Only lane 4 remains open, forcing all vehicles through a single lane.
- Recovery Efforts: Specialist crews are on their way to clear the spillage and get the road moving again.
- Traffic Management: National Highways officers are at the scene directing traffic and helping hold back the chaos.
- Congestion: Queues stretch around 12 miles back along the northbound approach.
Motorists Urged to Reroute or Delay Journeys
If you’re heading through this part of the M6, brace for major delays. Authorities advise:
- Allow plenty of extra travel time if you must use the affected stretch.
- Consider alternative routes or delay your trip if possible to avoid the hold-ups.
