No one is believed to have been injured and the cause of the blaze is not yet known.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Breathing apparatus and two hose reel jets were used to put out a vehicle fire on the M56.

"Firefighters attended after a VW Golf was reported well alight and also used foam to control the fuel fire. Crews were at the scene for an hour."
