Severe delays were building on the M6, M61 and M55 near Preston during rush hour.
Congestion was backing up to junction 29 on the M6 northbound, junction 9 of the M61 northbound and junction 2 of the M55 eastbound at around 5.30pm on Tuesday (December 19).
The delays followed an earlier crash which temporarily closed the M6 northbound near junction 31 (Samlesbury).
The collision was a damage-only crash with a car going into the central reservation.
The crash took place shortly after 4pm.
One resident who was stuck in the traffic said the motorway "looked like a car park".
Traffic has since returned to normal.
