Lorry crash causes major delays. Road closed near Mersey Gateway. Police investigate the incident.
A lorry flipped over and is now blocking the road. Pictures show it on its side, and traffic is backing up really badly now.
Someone at the scene said the lorry looks wrecked and the windshield is totally smashed. We asked Cheshire Police for more details, but we don’t know if anyone got hurt yet.
A guy said he didn’t see injuries, but the lorry looked really damaged; one lane is closed while the other crawls. He was lucky, being a few cars back.
The accident is near the Mersey Gateway Bridge, which posted about it on X. They said the road to Weston Link is closed due to a police matter and will post updates later.
Traffic is getting worse in the area, confirmed by Inrix, a traffic site. They said the northbound expressway is shut from the M56 to Weston Link due to the police incident.
