M6: Lanes cleared after triple smash

All lanes on the M6 near Lostock Hall have been cleared following a triple crash between three lorries.

All lanes on the M6 were closed, resulting in delays of more than 40 minutes.

Police say no injuries have been reported, and a National Highways spokesperson has confirmed that the lanes have since been reopened.

A police spokesperson said: "This was a damage-only collision between three HGVs, we got the call at 2:57pm.”

However, a National Highways representative confirmed to the Lancashire Evening Post that there are “no current reports of any ongoing lane closures on their systems”.
