TWO lanes are currently closed on the M6 southbound between Knutsford and Middlewich, following a crash between a lorry and a car.

The closure of the two nearside lanes within the roadworks is causing queues back to junction 20 for the M56.

North West Motorway Police and Highways England traffic officers are attending the scene, as well as the North West Ambulance Service.

Highways England say the scene should be cleared by around 4.30pm, with normal driving conditions not expected to return until an hour later.
