A MOTORIST has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of cannabis following a crash on the M6.

Police were called out to the northbound carriageway between junction 19 for Knutsford and Northwich, and junction 20 for Lymm, at around 11.15am today, January 30.

A spokesman for North West Motorway Police said: “The road traffic collision at junction 19 to junction 20 northbound has been cleared.

“One driver has been arrested having provided a positive drugs wipe – cannabis.”
