Drivers on the M6 are facing long delays and miles of congestion following an accident on the southbound carriageway.
The crash happened between Junction 19, Knutsford, and Junction 18 at Holmes Chapel.
National Highways say a queue of more than six miles has formed through the area.
A spokesperson for the agency said: “One lane is closed on the M6 southbound between J19 Tabley and J18 Holmes Chapel due to a collision.
“Delays in excess of one hour, approx. 6.5 miles of congestion.”
Traffic has also been spreading to nearby A-roads with queues forming on the A50 through Knutsford as drivers try to avoid the long M6 tailbacks.
