There was queueing traffic and one lane was closed due to flooding and an overturned car on M6 Southbound around J34 at Lancaster. However, the overturned car has now been removed, all lanes are open and traffic is easing.
Lots of standing water today, various road closures in place, don't take any risks with water its not worth it!
