M6 fully reopened after serious collision

At 1.40pm police received reports of a collision between a bus and a van between junction 17 (Sandbach) and junction 18 (Middlewich) on the northbound carriageway.

The road was closed whilst emergency services worked at the scene. It has now fully reopened but there is a lot of congestion and drivers are urged to avoid the area where possible.

One man has been air lifted to North Staffordshire Hospital with what are believed to be serious injuries.

Anyone with any information is urged to call Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 444 of 1st June.
