Drivers faced huge delays after a lorry overturned and spilt 20,000 litres of milk all over the motorway, closing it for a number of hours on Sunday (July 2).
At around 7am, police said a milk tanker, that was travelling on the M6 northbound, had collided with the central reservation before flipping over onto its side on the southbound carriageway.
Around 20,000 litres of milk, as well as diesel, spilled out over both carriageways, closing the motorway throughout the day and causing travel chaos on nearby roads and motorways, including the M55 and M61, as others reportedly became trapped within closures for over three hours.
