 M6 closed due to fire
Just heard on the radio that there is a massive fire at a chemical waste plant near Preston and the M6 is closed between junctions 31a and 32.
Police are syphoning people off the motorway and have advised locals to stay indoors. The reporter said that flames were shooting hundreds of feet into the air and barrels of chemicals were exploding. A school in the area is closed for today and motorists are being advised to stay away.
