The 19-year-old victim was a passenger in a Volkswagen Polo, one of four vehicles involved in the crash northbound between Junction 16 for Nantwich and Junction 17 Sandbach.
It happened at around 5.15pm last night (Friday December 2) when there was a collision involving a HGV, the Volkswagen Polo, a Peugeot 107 and a BMW.
