M6 Crash Causes Massive Backups, One Arrested

0:00On April 16th, a nasty two-car crash shut down the M6 Northbound between junctions, 19 and 20 this morning, flipping one vehicle and snarling. Traffic for drivers aiming for greater Manchester, emergency crews, police, paramedics, and firefighters raced to the scene around 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 16th, halting all lanes to handle. The mess. Motorists face massive backups stretching for miles with frustration building as the closure dragged on for over an hour. Cops arrested one driver, a man on suspicion of drug driving right after the smash, but luckily no serious injuries popped up. The road reopened by 12-10 p.m., getting things moving again, and police say the situations under control now.
