The scene is not expected to clear until the early hours, according to National Highways
Part of the M6 in Lancashire is set to be shut until the early hours of tomorrow after a serious crash on part of the motorway. The collision, which happened just after 4pm on Tuesday , shut the northbound side of the M6, between junctions 36 and 39.
Black smoke could be seen at the scene, with one eye witness saying: "Something serious happening on M6 northbound, just passed Tebay services. Loads of blue lights going up the hard shoulder, can see lots of black smoke and looks like the air ambulance has just come in as well. I really do hope everyone’s ok."Emergency services, including the police and air ambulance were in attendance before investigation work was then carried out.
