M6 Chaos: Serious Pedestrian Crash Closes Cheshire Motorway
M6 closed after serious pedestrian collision

A major closure has been enforced on the M6 motorway in Cheshire following a serious collision between a car and a pedestrian this morning.

Emergency Response at the Scene

The incident occurred shortly before 09:00 today, prompting a significant emergency response. Police officers and paramedics were quickly dispatched to the location on the motorway. In a dramatic escalation of the medical response, the air ambulance was deployed and landed in a field adjacent to the M6 to assist at the scene.

Travel Disruption for Motorists

National Highways confirmed the closure, stating the collision was serious. The shutdown of this key transport artery is causing substantial delays and traffic congestion for morning commuters and other road users. Drivers are being strongly advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes while the emergency services and investigation work continues.

The full impact on travel times and the duration of the closure remain uncertain as authorities manage the situation. The priority remains with the emergency response and subsequent investigation into the cause of the crash.
