M6 Southbound Closed Between J19 and J18 After Early Hours Crash
One casualty was rescued after a vehicle left the carriageway, causing a serious crash that closed the M6 southbound for hours with diversions in place.
- On Sunday, the M6 southbound closed between Junction 19 and Junction 18 in Cheshire after a vehicle left the carriageway at approximately 12:40am, resulting in a "serious collision."
- Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service deployed four fire engines and a technical rescue unit to the scene just after 12:40am to assess and stabilize the vehicle.
- The car had "come to rest on the edge of a brook" with the rear "partially in the water," and crews secured the vehicle using a winch to one of the fire engines.
- Traffic monitors reported "heavier than normal" conditions approaching the closure, forcing motorists onto diversions via the A556, A530, B5309, and A54.
