Overview
- National Highways says traffic has been stopped on the M6 southbound between J14 and J13 and that drivers face about 60 minutes of delays with roughly three miles of congestion.
- Staffordshire Police are at the scene and emergency services have been approached for comment as officers manage the incident and traffic flow.
- Live traffic feeds and local reporting show one lane remains closed with very slow moving traffic, creating a discrepancy with National Highways’ initial statement that traffic was stopped.
- Local news outlets are running minute‑by‑minute updates and have asked witnesses to contact police, but no official details on cause or injuries have been released so far.
- The M6 is a major north–south route so the crash is likely to widen delays across Staffordshire this evening and drivers should seek alternative routes or allow extra travel time.
