Drivers are facing chaos on a major UK motorway with traffic at a standstill after a crash.

Emergency services have been scrambled to a smash on the M6 . And witnesses say the collision on the north Staffordshire-leg of the motorway appears to have involved a truck and a car. Live traffic cameras have shown an HGV on the grass verge with the collision on the southbound carriageway just down from Junction 15.

Motorway cameras have shown traffic all going into the outside lane to pass the scene. One witness said: "It's only just happened but there's been a crash between a car and lorry on the M6 southbound. Traffic is heavy. The car is in the third lane and oil is leaking onto the fourth.
