A MAJOR motorway is expected to be closed “throughout the day” due to a horror smash.
Drivers heading south on the M6 from Cheshire are being warned about severe delays between junctions 16 near Crewe and 15 for Stoke-on-Trent.
The “serious” crash happened overnight, with National Highways confirming a “protracted police closure” is still in place this morning.
A spokesperson for National Highways said: “The M6 in Staffordshire remains closed southbound between J16 near Crewe and J15 near Stoke-on-Trent due following a serious collision that occurred overnight.
“This is a protracted police closure and the carriageway will remain closed throughout the day for ongoing investigation work at the scene.”
A diversion is in place.
