M6 closures after lorry crash: As it happened - BBC News
The latest updates after a lorry crashed and caught fire on the M6 in Staffordshire
For drivers on the M6 it's been a day to forget from the moment the motorway was shut near Stafford just after midnight.

A lorry had hit the central barrier, overturned and caught fire, although the ambulance service said the driver only suffered minor injuries.

But, because of the blaze and with debris and fuel spread over both sides of the carriageway, Highways England took several hours to clear the route and make repairs.

Huge queues and stationary traffic were reported not just on the M6 either side of the accident, but on surrounding routes.

Several told us they'd been stuck in tailbacks for five hours. Some, including delivery drivers said they'd been forced to turn around unable to complete their jobs, despite spending most of the day in traffic jams.

Drivers spent that time struggling to get more than a few hundred yards in an hour and surrounding routes quickly became jammed with cars and lorries.

The strongest criticism from drivers throughout the day was regarding warning signs and advice for those heading towards the scene of the cash.

It was about 12 hours after the crash when the first lanes reopened, on the southbound side, with three reopening on the northbound side before 16:00.
