M6 Accident Today: A serious collision on the M6 northbound caused major disruption on Monday after a crash involving a coach and a car forced the motorway to close between Junction 37 (Kendal) and Junction 38 (Tebay).
Emergency services, including police, ambulance crews, and fire personnel, responded to the incident shortly after it was reported. The northbound carriageway was closed to allow emergency responders to treat those involved, recover damaged vehicles, and investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. Traffic quickly built up in the area, with motorists facing lengthy delays and being diverted onto alternative routes.
Authorities have not yet released the total number of people involved or confirmed the extent of any injuries. The condition of those affected has also not been publicly disclosed, and investigators are continuing to examine what led to the collision.
National Highways urged drivers to avoid the affected section of the M6 where possible and to allow extra travel time while recovery operations continued. Congestion extended for several miles as traffic was diverted away from the closure.
Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage captured around the time of the collision to come forward. As inquiries remain ongoing, motorists are advised to monitor official traffic updates before traveling through the area.
The M6 is one of the UK’s busiest motorways, and incidents of this nature can result in prolonged disruption while emergency services work to safely reopen the road.
