ONE lane of the M6 was closed this morning after a car crashed near the Thelwall Viaduct.

A vehicle crashed into the barrier just prior to the viaduct closing one lane of the M6 northbound between junctions 20 and 21.

Traffic in the area was very slow-moving but the lane has now reopened after the accident was cleared.

Motorists are advised to take extra care due to the poor weather conditions.
