M-way delays after serious multi-vehicle pile-up
Three lanes out of four were closed for a time on the southbound carriageway between Jct 32 at the Broughton interchange and Jct 31A for Longridge after a multi-vehicle pile-up described by emergency services as “serious.”
But the northbound carriageway was also affected in the same area, with one lane shut for accident investigation work following a smash in which a vehicle is thought to have crashed through the central barrier and collided with another vehicle travelling south.
