M6 closures after serious road traffic collision causes major delays

This afternoon, police released a statement explaining that the M6 North and South bound roads are both currently closed from junction 33 to 34 and junction 34 to 33 due to a road traffic collision.

“We anticipate that the road will be closed for some time, whilst we assess the situation,” the statement read. “In the meantime, we’d recommend delaying your journey and driving carefully, leaving plenty of extra time to get to your destination.

“We’ll keep tabs on what’s happening, and we’ll update you here once the road is open. As always, thank you for your patience and stay safe if you’re out and about today.”
