The M6 northbound near Preston has partially reopened after a tanker spilled 15 tonnes of a flammable substance on to the carriageway. | |
The leak of waste solvent happened on the carriageway near junction 31 at about 10:00 GMT. | |
The driver was taken to hospital after inhaling fumes from the substance which cascaded for several hundred metres across the lanes. | |
Two of the four northbound lanes have now been reopened to traffic. | |
