A chaotic morning commute awaits drivers in the Liverpool area! Two separate crashes have caused significant disruptions on the M6 highway during rush hour.
The first collision occurred at junction 26, the M58 Orrell Interchange, while the other took place at junction 27, near the A5209 in Standish, Wigan. These incidents are unrelated, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix, but their impact on the morning commute is undeniable.
Here's the situation as of 6:38 am: A lane closure and long queues are forming on the southbound M6 due to the accident, stretching from J27 to J26. And it's not just southbound travelers who are affected. At 7:20 am, Inrix reported queues on the northbound M6 as well, caused by the earlier accident.
But here's where it gets controversial: Are these incidents truly unrelated? With two crashes in close proximity, some might wonder if there's an underlying issue with the road or traffic management. Could better signage or road maintenance have prevented these accidents? These questions often spark debates about road safety and infrastructure.
For those eager for updates, live cameras at the scene capture the ongoing traffic queues. Stay tuned for more information as the situation unfolds.
