Action to be taken against motorists who ignored matrix signs following two crashes on M6 near Preston
“We appreciate that a collision and subsequent road closure can completely derail your plans for the day, but this is for the safety of all those people involved at the scene, including our hard-working officers and other emergency services workers.
“These two collisions occurred in a short space of time on both sides of the M6, and the matrix signs were very clear that the motorway lanes were closed. “However, over 40 people still felt their convenience was more important and ignored the signs, while six people did this while also using their phones.”
“We hope this post serves as a reminder that nobody is above the law – and the actions of these few drivers were selfish, reckless and put all of those at the scene in danger.
