1:37pm Sunday 18th May 2008
LARGE tailbacks have built up on the M6 after a serious accident at junction 19, Tabley, 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.
Police closed the road and traffic was removed from the carriageway by being directed the wrong way up the junction 19 slip road.
Diversions are in place on the A556 to take motorists to the M56 and back on the M6 at the next junction.
But the crash has caused serious delays and police are advising motorists to avoid the area.

For some reason the M6 J15-J19 seem to be causing more deaths and crashes than ever at the moment and someone needs to look into this section of motorway.
