M6 Chaos Hits Travelers This Bank Holiday

Traffic chaos hit the M6 this bank holiday Monday, with two major incidents grinding travel to a halt—jam-packed lanes north of Preston and a multi-car crash near Knutsford, causing hour-long delays and forcing lane closures. The Preston obstruction backed up traffic all the way to junction 28, while the Knutsford crash shut down at least one lane as emergency crews worked. The ripple effect even slowed the M61, impacting trips to Blackpool and the Lake District. Travelers faced ruined plans and frustrating waits—though fingers crossed, the roads cleared soon enough for most to reach their destinations—or at least find a quiet spot to wait it out.
