The M6 is closed and there are eight miles of queues after a lorry burst into flames.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the M6 northbound between junctions 21 (Woolston) and 21A (Croft) at 6.09pm on Thursday, May 11, following reports of a vehicle fire. Once three fire engines arrived at the scene at 6.22pm they found a lorry trailer was well alight.
The driver of the lorry had managed to disconnect the cab from the trailer himself. Firefighters from Birchwood, Lymm and Warrington have been working for the last hour to put out the flames.
