    Officers investigating a serious collision on the M6 earlier this week are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

    The collision happened shortly after 6am on Monday 7 March when a milk tanker was travelling south in lane two of the M6 between junctions 35 and 34. As it approached the end of a queue of stationary traffic it collided with the rear of an articulated lorry. The lorry then shunted forward, causing it to collide with the rear offside of a tipper HGV.

    The milk tanker jack-knifed and collided with the central reservation, causing debris to fall on to the northbound carriageway which in turn collided with a BMW saloon car, causing minor damage. The milk tanker leaked both fuel and milk out onto the carriageway and the articulated lorry shed its load of wooden floor panels.

    The driver of the milk tanker, a 56 year old man, suffered serious injuries to his neck, spine, pelvis and legs and was airlifted to Royal Preston Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.

    The driver of the articulated lorry, a 50 year old man, suffered whiplash and cuts and bruises to his face and body.

    The M6 southbound was closed for 21 hours for a full examination of the scene, recovery of the vehicles and the clean-up operation, which included resurfacing the carriageway. It reopened at 3am on Tuesday 8 March.

    PS Tracey Ward from the Road Policing Unit said: “This collision left one man with serious injuries and he faces a long road to recovery. Although the motorway has been reopened our investigation to establish exactly how this major collision occurred is still on-going. I would urge anyone who witnessed what happened or has any information that could assist with our investigation and has not yet spoken to us to get in touch as soon as possible.”

    i guess iv clocked up over 1million miles in my time many on the motorway, iv watched it deteriorate to where we are now, it just does not have the capacity, we are using the hard shoulders etc, average speed cameras etc, but this is just shuffling the deckchairs on the titanic, we need new motorways not the hs2, our roads are full and are hampering our businesses and country

    Not just roads is it though ? Adding more and more people to a densely populated country just adds more traffic on the roads, all this talk of build build build, where will it stop when the uk becomes one big flood plane because of the extra roads and housing ?

    It was sheer luck that no car drivers ended up between those lorries! I read Truck Net a lot for the amusement and you get a good impression of what they think about some of the foreign or agency drivers on the road today!
