Three injured in M6 crash
10:39am Wednesday 30th April 2008
By Emma Cruces »
THREE people were taken to hospital after a HGV and five cars collided on the M6 near Samlesbury.
Two lanes of the four-lane section of motorway were closed for an hour following the incident which happened at 7.56am today at junction 31. It is thought the collision was caused by a minibus which sustained a punctured tyre after driving over a sharp object on the southbound side of the motorway.
A Ford Focus, a Seat Ibiza and a Toyota Celica were also involved in the collision. Three people were taken to Royal Preston Hospital, but their injuries were not said to be serious. Two outside lanes were closed while fire crews made the scene safe, causing delays to both north and south-bound traffic.
