Motorists travelling on the M6 in Cheshire face long delays to their journeys due to incidents on both the northbound and southbound carriageways this afternoon (December 13).

Two northbound lanes have been closed near junction 18 at Middlewich in the roadworks area due to a one-vehicle collision which left a woman trapped.

She had to be rescued from the vehicle by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service .

While a collapsed manhole has led police to implement a rolling road block southbound near junction 17 for Sandbach so emergency repairs can be carried out.

Traffic is moving very slowly in both directions.

Highways England say: "Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and may wish to consider alternative routes."
