Overview
- The M5 is closed in both directions between junctions 6 (Worcester) and 5 (Droitwich) for a police-led incident, with an air ambulance on scene and National Highways warning of delays of up to 80 minutes northbound and 60 minutes southbound.
- A collision on the M60 clockwise between junctions 16 and 17 near Prestwich triggered heavy queues, with knock-on congestion onto the M62 westbound past Simister Island and the M61 southbound.
- Multiple incidents on the M6 in Cheshire caused lane closures near junction 19 northbound, between junctions 18 and 17 southbound, and delays around Thelwall Viaduct, before lanes later reopened with residual queues.
- Earlier disruption has eased after recovery, including the M62 at junction 11 reopening following overnight emergency repairs after a one-car overturn that left a 19-year-old driver with serious injuries under police investigation.
- Localised issues continued elsewhere, with the M65 westbound exit slip at junction 8 closed during recovery work after a crash.
