Lane closed on M6 between junction 19 and 20

Both incidents took place close to the Lymm Interchange at junction 20, with one lane of the carriageway closed to allow recovery teams to clear the scene.

The first incident took place at around 7.30am this morning and although that lane closure was cleared within 30 minutes, a lane was closed again after another car broke down in the same area.

Traffic is said to building between junction 20 and 19, with delays of up to half an hour expected.
