DRIVERS travelling out of Blackburn and Darwen faced delays following a motorway crash.

Traffic was delayed by around 30 minutes after two cars crashed on the M65 Westbound between junction four, near Darwen, and junction five, near Guide.

Congestion on the motorway stretched back to junction six near the Whitebirk Roundabout.

The cars, believed to be a white Fiat 500 and a black car, have since been taken onto the hard shoulder and then towed away.

One of the Westbound lanes was closed temporarily following the incident.

No-one has been reported injured.
