AN EARLIER collision on the M6 Northbound has now been cleared.

The M6 in Lancashire was closed between junctions 33 and 34 following a crash.

Emergency services were on the scene and closed the road for a number of hours.

The road has since reopened and traffic has returned to normal after.

A spokesperson for Highways England said: "There was a vehicle driving the wrong way down the motorway on the northbound carriageway.

"It was a police pursuit.

"There was a two vehicle crash."
