ALL lanes have now reopened on the M6 northbound between Middlewich and Knutsford, following an earlier crash involving a car and a lorry.

The left and middle lanes were closed within the roadworks between junctions 18 and 19, while recovery services attended to move the vehicle.

Delays of around an hour and 15-mile queus quickly built, and are likely to remain in place until the early afternoon despite all lanes reopening shortly before midday.
