Three-year-old girl and man killed in M6 crash

A three-year-old girl and a man, 79, have died after two cars crashed on a motorway.

Two other adults were taken to hospital with serious injuries after the M6 collision near Preston before 17:50 GMT on Saturday, Lancashire Police said. Officers say the 79-year-old was driving a Porsche when it was involved in a collision with a Vauxhall in which the girl was travelling.The other two injured people were also in the Vauxhall."This was a traumatic scene for all witnesses and emergency services involved, I would like to pass on my thanks for their dedication in dealing with an incident which can only be described as horrific.

The motorway was shut for several hours while repairs were made to the southbound carriage between junctions 29 and 28.

For Gods sake! Far far more accidents happen with young drivers.

I was parked behind a car a man sat on bench with crutches waiting for his wife got up, walking very gingerly, senses slow, reaction slower and got into the parked car (age unknown but 60-70 I’m guessing) drove off badly, slowly - why is that OK? Why do they think that’s OK?

This motorway is scary at the best of times
