THREE people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash which closed the southbound M6 between junctions 19 and 18 early this morning.
Fire engines from Holmes Chapel, Knutsford, Winsford, Lymm and Altrincham were called just before 2am to a collision involving six vehicles.
On arrival the crews found a collision involving two vans, a car and three lorries and one person trapped in a vehicle.
Firefighters removed a man from one of the vehicles and performed CPR along with paramedics.
Three people with injuries were also triaged by firefighters at the incident, and the crews removed debris from the road.
Police also attended, and fully closed the motorway while the incident was dealt with.
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police by calling 101 and quoting IML 359640.
A driver on the northbound M6 has been stopped and reported after filming the scene of a collision on the opposite carriageway as they passed.
A police spokesman said: "Using a mobile phone at any time when driving is unacceptable, and we will always report those who risk it."
