A southbound stretch of the M6 has reopened after a serious accident this morning which caused the road to be closed for some time and long delays.

North West Ambulance attended the scene along with the police.
The motorway was cleared to be reopened at around 12.15pm but motorists were warned there would be 'severe delays' for the next hour.
Further details of the accident have not yet been released.
