Drivers are being warned of long delays on the M6 northbound this afternoon after traffic was briefly stopped. 

Motorists can expect up to 60 minutes of delays between J15 Stoke-on-Trent and J16 at Crewe, according to National Highways.

This delay comes following a Central Motorway Police incident around 2:35pm.

Traffic is now moving, but the J16 north exit slip remains closed.
