Dad with 'quirky sense of humour' killed in M56 motorway crash

The family of a man killed in a M56 motorway crash have paid tribute to the "devoted" dad who had a "quirky sense of humour".

Cheshire Constabulary said officers were called to the westbound carriageway near junction 14 at Hapsford at around 10.35am on Friday, January 20 following reports that a grey BMW had left the road. A force spokeswoman said the vehicle’s driver Matthew Clarke, 48, from Nantwich, died at the scene.

His family are being supported by specialist officers. Emergency services including two air ambulances attended the scene as part of the response, which included closures between junctions 14 and 15.
