TWO lanes were closed northbound and one lane southbound on the M6 following a crash between J37 for Kendal and J38 for Tebay this morning, September 1.
The closure was implemented after a heavy goods vehicle crashed through the central reservation and overturned.
Cumbria Road Watch first reported the incident 7:17am.
A spokesperson from Cumbria Constabulary said: "The driver does not appear to have suffered any significant injury at this time. Going to hospital for checks," they said.
