Overview
- On the M6 in Warwickshire, one lane remained closed northbound between Junction 3 and Junction 3a after an early collision, with delays of around an hour and roughly six miles of congestion.
- A separate multi‑vehicle crash on the M6 near Wigan briefly stopped all northbound traffic between Junctions 26 and 27 before all lanes reopened, leaving residual delays of up to 45 minutes.
- On the M62 westbound near Huddersfield, a lane closure between Junctions 23 and 22 caused morning queues that later eased after the incident was cleared.
- In Gateshead, a multi‑vehicle collision on the A1 southbound at Team Valley produced about 45 minutes of delays and five miles of tailbacks before recovery and an oil clean‑up allowed lanes to reopen shortly after 9am.
- Tuesday’s disruption included a five‑vehicle crash with two cars on fire on the M4 near Hungerford, a westbound closure of the M48 Severn Bridge after a car‑motorcycle collision, and an hour‑long hold on the M25 for an overturned vehicle.
