The statement given by police appears to state that Cock Robin Lane itself is closed rather than the A6 but images show that not to be the case.
A spokesperson for police said: “We want to update you and let you know that Cock Robin Lane to the A6 in Catterall is currently closed due to a road traffic collision.
“We anticipate that the road will be closed for some time, whilst we assess the situation.
“In the meantime, we’d recommend looking for an alternative route, avoiding the area and driving carefully, leaving plenty of extra time to get to your destination.
“We’ll keep tabs on what’s happening and we’ll update you here once the road is open. As always, thank you for your patience and stay safe if you’re out and about today.”
