Overview

  • The M6 southbound was closed early Saturday between J11 Laney Green Interchange and J10 Bentley following a crash involving multiple vehicles.
  • West Midlands Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance Service crews alongside Midlands Air Ambulance remain at the scene assessing casualties and clearing wreckage.
  • Traffic was held in both directions to accommodate the air ambulance landing on the motorway and to secure the scene for recovery work.
  • The M62 westbound near Huddersfield was reduced to one lane after Friday’s collision but traffic has now started to ease, according to National Highways and Inrix.
  • A police safety hold on the M57 at Switch Island on Friday led Arriva North West to reroute its Service 345 bus and issue passenger advisories.
