M6 Southbound Shut Between Crewe and Stoke After Overturned Car

Drivers are being diverted onto the A500 during the emergency response.

Overview

  • National Highways and Staffordshire Police closed the M6 southbound between junctions 16 and 15 after an overnight crash left a vehicle overturned, with a hollow-square diversion sending traffic via the A500.
  • The northbound carriageway through this stretch remains open, and National Highways traffic officers are managing the scene.
  • On Friday, a separate M6 incident northbound between junctions 4A and 5 near Birmingham involved an overturned car, closing three lanes and causing delays of about 55 minutes before recovery progressed.
  • Earlier, the M11 southbound near the M25 moved from a full closure to one lane open for recovery after a collision involving two cars and a van, and the M4 near Cardiff reopened following a seven-vehicle crash with no injuries reported.
  • Other recent disruption included a morning hold on the M23 toward Gatwick with queues reaching the M25, a serious-injury collision on the A56 at Accrington with barrier damage, and M62 delays caused by a broken-down lorry.
