The M6 in Cumbria is currently closed northbound between junctions 42 and 43 due to a medical emergency involving the driver of a light goods vehicle. An air ambulance was dispatched to the scene, as confirmed by National Highways. Cumbria Police, along with ambulance services, responded promptly to the incident. To facilitate their efforts, traffic was temporarily halted on the southbound lane. National Highways stated, "A full closure is in place northbound while Cumbria Police remain at the scene and have confirmed investigation work will not be required. They are hoping to reopen the northbound carriageway soon." As the situation develops, a diversion route has been established for motorists. National Highways advises drivers to follow the Hollow Circle diversion symbol displayed on road signs. The recommended route is as follows: - Exit the M6 at junction 42 (Golden Gleece) - Take the second exit onto the A6 westbound towards Carlisle - Turn right at the London Road/Eastern Way traffic lights onto Eastern Way - Continue and then turn right at the Eastern Way/Warwick Road traffic lights onto the A69 - Take the A69 eastbound and re-join the M6 at junction 43 This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
