M6 Northbound Closed After Four-Car Crash Near Warrington

Recovery crews are clearing the scene, causing long delays as Cheshire Police has not yet released details.

Overview

  • A crash involving four cars has closed the M6 northbound between junction 21 (Warrington) and junction 21A (Croft Interchange) and traffic is being held.
  • National Highways reports delays in excess of 30 minutes and roughly two miles of congestion on the northbound carriageway.
  • Emergency services are on scene and recovery work has begun to remove vehicles and reopen the motorway.
  • Motorway cameras show long queues approaching J21 and local traffic systems first reported the collision at around 20:35.
  • The M6 is a key north–south route where junction closures quickly spread congestion, so drivers should expect continued disruption and consider alternative routes until the motorway reopens.
