Two lanes remain closed southbound on the M6 between Garstang and Preston with the northbound also having a lane closed. Emergency services have been scrambled to the scene between Junction 33 and Junction 32 of the M6. Police have confirmed the crash is between a car, a lorry and a van.

All three lanes are closed southbound as of 3.45pm on Friday (7 March) although highways said one lane had been re-opened as of 3.50pm to release trapped traffic. The northbound carriageway has one lane closed as a result of the crash. National Highways North West said delays are expected and Traffic England is already showing traffic backed up to the Garstang junction all the way from Broughton as Friday rush hour begins.

Eyewitnesses report multiple vehicles are involved in the crash shortly after 3pm on Friday. A police spokesperson said there was a 'minor injury collision between three vehicles'. The A6 through Garstang and surrounding routes is expected to be busier than usual as traffic diverts off the motorway.
