MOTORISTS travelling on the area's motorway should expect delays this morning after two separate crashes due to the weather.

One lane is closed and queueing traffic due to a crash on M6 Northbound between J35 A601(M) Carnforth and J36 A590 (Kirkby Lonsdale).

Sleet and snow in the area have caused the road to become hazardous, say police.

Two lanes were closed but now only lane one is closed. Affecting traffic from Lancaster to Kendal.

One lane is also on M6 Southbound between J38 A685 / B6260 (Tebay) and J37 A684 (Kendal) because of a crash.
