Drivers have endured traffic chaos on the M6 after a lorry lost its trailer, causing 10 miles of queues.

It happened between J24-J25 heading northbound towards Wigan during the morning rush hour.

National Highways reported queues stretching back four miles, with motorists facing half-an-hour waits.

An earlier broken down vehicle also caused long queues on the southbound carriageway, although lanes have since reopened.
