A6 in Garstang reopens after being shut in both directions due to a collision

The initial collision took place outside the Bellflower pub before midday, followed by a second collision nearby.

Due to the incidents, Preston Police took to Twitter to announce it had closed the road in both directions at 12:08 pm, advising residents to “[p]lease avoid the area and allow extra time for any travel.”

However, Police have now confirmed that the road reopned at 13:26 pm.

“The collision partly blocked the road, causing slow traffic in the area, and there was then a second collision involving two cars nearby.

“No one was injured in the collisions but the A6 was blocked while the vehicles involved were removed.”
