Traffic is currently very heavy on the M6 Northbound between Southwaite Services and Junction 42, due to an incident with a car pulling a mini-digger in a trailer, which has overturned.
A spokesperson from Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service said:
"There was nobody trapped in the vehicle, but Carlisle East made the scene safe, and used oil absorbent Environment Agency pads to mop up an oil spill.
"Traffic will be heavy until the vehicles are recovered."
