A tragic lorry crash on the M6 led to a pedestrian’s death and a massive emergency response
Wigan: A pedestrian lost their life in a terrible lorry accident on the M6. It happened on a Sunday afternoon, and the emergency services rushed to the scene.
They had to close the northbound side of the motorway between junctions 27 and 28. An air ambulance landed, and police were on the scene, making sure everything was safe.
The road stayed shut for quite a while as they looked into what happened. There were rumors that other vehicles might have been involved, but nothing’s confirmed yet.
Traffic was a nightmare, with delays stretching over an hour. Eventually, they set up diversions to help drivers get around the mess. The police are still gathering details about the incident.
Lancashire Police released a statement saying the M6 would be closed for a significant time. They asked everyone to find different routes to avoid the area.
They know this is a hassle and are working hard to reopen the motorway as soon as they can. If anyone has information or dashcam footage, they should reach out to the police.
