Witnesses Sought After Crash Left M6 Near Carlisle Closed for 'Significant Period'
The M6 motorway closure caused delays of up to one hour and required an air ambulance landing to assist after a serious multi-vehicle crash, officials said.
- A major multi-vehicle accident on August 16, 2025, led to the closure of the M6 motorway in both directions near Walsall, specifically between junctions 10 and 11.
- The crash led authorities to stop traffic around 11am and involved emergency services including fire, ambulance, and an air ambulance landing on the motorway.
- The motorway began reopening by early afternoon with two of four lanes still closed for vehicle recovery as traffic was held northbound for the air ambulance.
- National Highways classified the incident as a serious injury collision and advised motorists to find alternative routes to avoid around 30-minute delays in both directions.
- Heavy traffic persisted on surrounding roads near Wolverhampton and Birmingham, and police thanked the public for their assistance and patience during the closure.
