LARGE tailbacks have built up on the M6 at junction 19, Tabley, after a serious accident involving a lorry and a car.
It is not yet known how many people were injured in the crash, which happened at 10.50am on Sunday.
The carriageway has been closed to northbound traffic and vehicles are being diverted off the motorway.
Cheshire Police have said the road is expected to remain closed for about six hours while officers investigate.
