Long delays after motorway closure

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League fans should check for the latest travel updates before travelling following a major crash on the M6 on Saturday morning that at one point closed the motorway in both directions.

Police and the emergency services were called to a serious incident on the northbound section of the M6 in Cheshire between junctions 17 and 18 just before 10am.

Both carriageways have now reopened but the police and Highways Agency are warning of long delays in both directions following the build-up traffic queues.
