Lancashire traffic news: large traffic queues on the M6 travelling south towards Preston

Commuters on the M6 say they have been stuck in large traffic queues this morning (Tuesday, May 23) getting into Preston.

One driver sent in a photo of the road before her, as she sat stuck in congestion at Junction 32 travelling southbound into Preston at 8:30am.

Drivers should take care during congested times.

There does not appear to be an incident causing the queues, although a lane has been closed 20 miles away between Junction 24 Ashton-in-Makerfield and Junction 23 Haydock due to a broken down vehicle.
