Drivers were met with severe dislocation this morning as M6 traffic was brought to a bottleneck following two serious crashes on both the northbound and southbound carriageways.
Emergency crews arrived at the scene after the incidents unfolded within an hour of each other, leaving long ranges and wide detentions across the motorway network.
M6 Traffic Delays After Early-Morning Crashes
The first collision happened shortly after 630 AM on Monday, 3 November, when an auto capsized between junctions 27 and 26 on the southbound stretch of the M6.
“Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene,” confirmed a police spokesperson. One lane was shut down to allow recovery vehicles and paramedics through, creating delays of around half an hour.
Substantiations described chaotic scenes, with traffic grinding to a halt and motorists trying to edge forward in long, slow-moving queues.
Just under an hour later, an alternate crash struck northbound at around 720 AM, further compounding the misery for early commuters.
Details of that incident remain limited, though officers have verified that exigency brigades were dispatched incontinently.
drivers took to social media to vent frustration and advise others to avoid the route, describing snarls stretching for long hauls in both directions.
Drivers Warned as Emergency Crews Work to Clear M6
The binary collisions caused knock-on goods across original roads, pushing redundant traffic onto nearby routes. trace officers prompted motorists to plan ahead, use indispensable routes, and check live M6 traffic updates before traveling.
Authorities said recovery operations are ongoing, and normal traffic inflow will resume once the vehicles are cleared and debris removed.
Drivers are reminded to stay patient, follow on-point directions, and remain conservative while driving through the affected area.
