MOTORWAY crashes have brought northbound commuters in Cumbria to a standstill.

Two collisions along the M6 have led to long queues of stationary traffic, snaking back miles. Lengthy delays are expected along the route throughout the evening as a result.

The two crashes are understood to have occurred between Junction 37 and 38.

Traffic officers are reportedly making their way to the affected carriageway between the exits for Kendal and Appleby.
