Just driven past and seen a number of ambulances. A black Corsa had driven off the road and gone straight down the embankment. Not sure what happened. Car was still on wheel and lightly damaged, but roof was being removed to remove driver. He seemed 'OK'.

Two BMW's had crashed further up the road because of rubber necking. laugh
Just taken a look out my window (the section between J1 and J2) and it all looks to be flowing smoothly and fast in both directions, so good news in that respect at least.

It's off the slip road onto the main road. wink
ahh that will explain the traffic build up today, my office over looked the motorway by total fitness, hope they are alright, it's a bad roundabout, people always cut lanes and slip road from asda people use the m53 lane and the cut on to the middle lane so they don't have to stop.

There's a big whole in the metal barrier just at the end (driving towards Arrowe Park).
