The man who died when his car and a lorry crashed on the A51 bypass in Nantwich was named today as Richard Hopley. The 56-year-old, from Crewe, was travelling towards the A500 at Cheerbrook roundabout, Willaston when his car collided with a truck.
A man died when his car collided with a lorry on the A500 bypass in Nantwich. The crash closed the busy single carriageway route between the Cheerbrook and Peacock roundabouts at Willaston.
Two major road schemes to improve the A500 from Nantwich to M6, and access to Crewe town centre, have been approved by the Government. More than £6.5 million will be spent widening the A500 single lane approach to junction 16, and on a new Basford West Spine road.

The pothole-ridden A500 Shavington bypass near Nantwich is to close for two days to allow for urgent repairs. The eastbound lane heading away from Nantwich towards the M6 will be closed between 9.30am and 4pm on Thursday March 14.
