“Long delays are expected,” say police.
A lorry crash has closed the M6 in Cumbria this morning. “Long delays are expected,” say police, as the northbound carriageway remains closed between junctions 39 and 40 . Lane 3 is also closed on the southbound carriageway between J40 and J39, added the force. Emergency services are in attendance but it’s not clear whether anyone has been injured at this stage. Pictures from the scene show the lorry wreck after its trailer overturned and crashed through the central reservation.
“Long delays are expected,” warned Cumbria Police, who are currently responding to the incident on the M6 near Clifton. A lorry heading southbound overturned at around 9am and crashed through the central reservation barrier onto the northbound carriageway. This has resulted in mud being spread across the motorway, along with a fuel spillage. A second crash involving a lorry has also added to delays on the M6 in Cumbria.
