Police issue update after Liverpool driver in his 20s killed in M6 crash

Police are appealing for witnesses after a Liverpool man died in a crash on the M6 last week.

The man, in his 20s, was driving a Seat Ibiza when he was involved in a crash with a Mercedes Actros HGV, on Thursday, July 1.

Emergency services attended the scene, at around 1.02am, on the southbound side of the carriageway between junctions 28 and 27.

The HGV driver was not seriously injured.

Lancashire Police reported that the driver of the Seat died at the scene.

Last week the incident closed the carriageway for sometime but it opened several hours later.

Sergeant David Hurst, of Lancashire Police’s tactical operations, said: "This collision has resulted in a man losing his life and my thoughts are with his loved ones at this extremely distressing time.

"We are now working to establish the full circumstances of the collision and I would ask any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage which could assist us with our enquiries to please get in touch."

Anyone with information is asked to email 2856@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 0063 of July 1, 2021.
