Delays are continuing into Sunday (10 November) lunchtime on the motorway as a result, with delays of 10 minutes or more being experienced from Junction 32 southbound of the M6.

There’s also delays on the M55 eastbound approaching the Broughton interchange too, due to the M6 delays.

The car fire took place shortly after 10.30am on Sunday.

Blog Preston understands no one was hurt in the fire.
