TRAFFIC is backing up on the M65 due to a three-car crash.
The crash took place near junction eight westbound, at Padiham, and is affecting traffic from junction seven, Rishton, up to junction 10 at Burnley.
The vehicles have been moved onto the hard shoulder but traffic is still congested.
Traffic on the eastbound carriageway is also being affected on the opposite side due to drivers looking.
