Drivers are being faced with queues on the M6 near Greater Manchester after two incidents within a few miles of each other. Delays are building up on the southbound carriageway near Warrington after a car fire between junctions 20 at Lymm and 19 at Knutsford this afternoon (June 26).
It comes as traffic heading northbound is being affected by an overturned caravan on the slip road taking traffic from the M6 onto the M56 westbound at Lymm. Problems began on the stretch of Cheshire motorway at around 12.15pm, according to the Inrix traffic monitoring system.
In an update at 2pm, Inrix said the M6 southbound was 'partially blocked' between the two junctions, causing 'heavy traffic'. North West Motorway Police confirmed to the Manchester Evening News that the incident was a car fire on the southbound carriageway, towards junction 19.
