TRAFFIC: Multi-car crash on M65 at Blackburn causing severe delays
A MULTI-car crash on the M65 at Blackburn caused severe delays this morning.
One lane was closed from junction four (Darwen/Blackburn South) to junction three (Blackburn West) after a car was shunted by a van onto the central reservation.
Traffic built back to junction five as recovery took place.
A spokesman for Highways England confirmed that nobody was injured.
The lane has now re-opened and traffic is said to be moving normally.
