@uk_traffic_updates: ⚠️ M6 CRASH 🚨 | SOUTHBOUND | CLOSED ⛔ | BETWEEN J16 (CREWE / ALSAGER / STOKE-ON-TRENT / A500) & J15 (STOKE-ON-TRENT / A500 / A519 / HANCHURCH INTERCHANGE) 📍 STAFFORDSHIRE | NEAR: Alsager / Barthomley / Keele / Madeley / Hanchurch / Newcastle-under-Lyme 🕒 REPORTED AFTER: 22:00 BST | ONGOING AS OF 23:20 BST | 5th October 26 📊 INCIDENT DETAILS 🚨 The M6 in Staffordshire is closed southbound between J16 (Crewe / Alsager / Stoke-on-Trent / A500) and J15 (Stoke-on-Trent / A500 / Hanchurch Interchange) due to a serious crash. 🚧 Emergency services are on scene — the closure has now been ongoing for over an hour. ⏰ Although traffic is lighter at this hour, this is a key north-south freight corridor, so disruption is expected while the closure remains in place. 🚗 Drivers heading southbound towards Stafford, Birmingham and the M6 Toll should leave the M6 at J16 and use the A500 and A34 through Newcastle-under-Lyme to rejoin at J15, or use local routes. 🚛 HGV and freight traffic should plan ahead and allow extra time — the A500 and A34 diversion will see congestion build while the closure remains in place. #M6 #Staffordshire #Incident #Travel #Delays
