M6 crash: Motorcyclist killed in serious crash that shut stretches of …

The M6 southbound was closed between junctions 11 and 10

Emergency services were called to the southbound carriageway just south of junction 10A with the M54 at around 8.20am. The man who had been on the bike was found in a critical condition but died at the scene.

The collision led to the closure of the M6 southbound between junctions 12 and 10, while the M54 was also shut eastbound between junction 1 and the M6.

The closure of the motorways led to congestion on surrounding roads, with queues stretching back towards Stafford on the M6 as drivers looked for alternative routes.
