Heavy rain and flooding caused a car to crash into an HGV on the motorway over the weekend.
Police were called to the M6 just north of junction 32 on Saturday after a driver lost control in the heavy rain and crashed with an HGV, and ended up coming off the motorway.
Luckily the driver had been wearing a seatbelt and suffered only minor injuries thanks to the working airbags.
A police spokesperson said: "Two vehicle RTC north of junction 32.
"Heavy downpour and flooding contributed towards this driver losing control and colliding with a HGV.
"Thankfully the driver was wearing their seatbelt and airbags did their job.
"Only minor injuries reported."
