M6 southbound closure - 17th Aug

As we were returning up the northbound M6 from Penrith this lunchtime we noticed what appeared to be a caravan on it's side across the inside two lanes of the southbound carriage way. We had travelled down that way less than a couple of hours before without any problems. There were plenty of police and a couple of fire engines in attendance, and a group of people standing around, and a long tailback of traffic. The only report I could find stated that it was a single vehicle accident, with no details. Hope that there were no major casualties.
