Drivers delayed for over an hour due to lorry fire on M6 northbound
Motorists were facing severe delays on the M6 northbound this evening after a lorry caught fire.
Drivers were held up for over an hour following the incident which took place between J15 Stoke and J16 Crewe at around 5.30pm.
Lane one was opened for a short time to allow traffic to pass through, but was closed again when clear-up crews attended the scene.
All lanes reopened just after 6pm.
National Highways said on social media at the time of the incident: "Delays of at least 60 minutes above normal travel times on #M6 north between J15 & J16 due to an earlier vehicle fire.
"Lane 1 has temporarily re-opened. Lane 1 will be closed again once clear-up crews and service providers arrive. Please allow extra journey time."
