TWO lanes are currently closed and delays are being reported on the M6 this morning, Tuesday.

This is due to a crash involving three lorries on the southbound carriageway between junction 19 at Table for Knutsford and Northwich and junction 18 for Middlewich and Holmes Chapel.

Lanes one and two, of four, are blocked and closed, with travel time reported to be around 45 minutes on top of normal journey times.

Congestion is said to be in excess of five miles.

Emergency services are at the scene, but North West Motorway Police says no serious injuries have been sustained.

The force added: “We hope to have recovery en-route shortly. Traffic is passing the scene, but expect some delays.”
