Seven people were injured in a crash between a lorry, a campervan and a car on the M6 that will leave the carriageway closed for a considerable amount of time.
Police were called to the crash on the northbound carriageway of the M6 close to junction 27 at around 2.07pm today (30 August).
The crash involved a lorry, campervan and a car and has caused significant damage to the central reservation. This, combined with the lorry shedding its load of beer and cider cans across the carriageway, means that the M6 will be closed in both directions between junction 28 and 27 for ‘a considerable amount of time’.
None of the seven people injured in the crash suffered life-threatening injuries, although the air ambulance was required.
A spokesperson for police said: “We know many of you will be impacted in some way by the current closure of the M6 and we just wanted to give you the latest.
“We were called at 2.07pm today following reports of a collision involving a HGV, campervan and car on the northbound carriage of Junction 27 of the M6.
“Seven people have suffered injuries, although none are thought to be life-threatening.
“The collision has caused considerable damage to the central reservation and the HGV has also shed its load. Therefore, the motorway will be closed in both directions for a considerable amount of time. We will update you when we can.
“Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to report it online or call 101. Quote log 751 of 30th August 2024.”
