The northbound carriageway remains closed near junction 20 with traffic being diverted via the entry and exit slip roads. There are long delays approaching the key junction where the M6 meets the M56.
Officers from Cheshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit are currently at the scene carrying out enquiries. A white KIA SUV can be seen in lane three of the closed section of the motorway.
Next to it is a motorbike which can be seen leaning against the central reservation.
Cheshire Police have been approached for further information.
Earlier, National Highways said: “The #M6 is now CLOSED northbound within J20 #M56 near #Warrington due to a collision involving a motorcycle. Delays of at least 20 minutes on approach to the closure. Traffic is to divert using the entry and exit slips.”
They later added they were awaiting ‘further clarification’ on when the motorway is expected to re-open.
