THERE are delays on the M6 southbound stretching back to junction 21 for Woolston after a crash and a break down earlier today.

The vehicle broke down between junction 19 for Knutsford and junction 18 for Middlewich / Holmes Chapel while in stuck in traffic following an accident involving several cars.

The motorway was closed between junction 18 and junction 17 for Sandbach / Congleton after the crash this morning so that the air ambulance could land.

Luckily the casualty's injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

The road fully reopened at around midday but traffic in the area is still slow.
