M6 in Cumbria closed due to crane fire | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
A 25-mile stretch of the M6 in Cumbria was closed for several hours after a crane caught fire. | |
Both carriageways were closed between Junction 36 and Junction 39 as a precaution due to smoke from the burning 140-tonne crane. | |
No-one was reported injured and all but one northbound lane was reopened by late afternoon on Thursday. | |
The remaining lane which suffered the most damage was due to be resurfaced and open again by Friday. |
