The broken down car has been removed from the M6 southbound between J38 and J37 and the road is now clear.
Reports that a young girl had been forced into a van in Barrow by a man wearing a balaclava were made up, police have said.
Cumbria police received reports that a girl aged between 11 and 13 was pulled into a vehicle in the Ormsgill Estate but these were "fabricated", it confirmed
Supt Rob O’Connor said: “Several child witnesses came forward to report this incident, and there were numerous resources dedicated to investigate overnight and in to today.
“As a result of our inquiries and further discussions with those witnesses, they have accepted that the incident was fabricated.
“We thank the public and the media for their help with our appeal, and are pleased that there was no young girl in any danger."
Two men have been jailed after a woman in Carlisle was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted on Christmas Eve.
The victim initially thought strangers Kabir Hussain, 40, and 31-year-old Marco Martins were trying to help her as she left a city pub in a drunken state during the early hours.
Carlisle Crown Court heard she was "sandwiched" between the pair - and even carried at one stage - while being led through the city centre on the promise of being taken to a taxi.
But instead she was lured to a flat where she was raped twice by Hussain and once by a third man who was arrested by police but has since absconded.
During the first of Hussein's attacks, Martins sexually assaulted the terrified woman.
Hussain, of Dod Street, London, admitted two rape charges and one sexual assault.

Judge Adkin told the men they had committed a "most grossly degrading sexual attack".

Police are still "actively" investigating reports a girl was forced into a van last night on the Ormsgill estate in Barrow.
We've asked them if they were aware of a previous attempted abduction of a boy in the same area which prompted the headteacher at the local school to send out a warning text, they've sent us this response:
"We were made aware of an incident in the area a couple of weeks ago, however, after a subsequent investigation, this appeared to be an innocent incident. It is not believed to be connected to the one reported yesterday," a spokesman said.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice for eastern parts of the county. It's in place be from 18:00 to 23:55 this evening.

Image source, Met OfficeA man has admitted attacking a Carlisle shop owner and possessing a blow torch and a machete in a public place.
Frank Robertson, 60, had been charged with attempted murder following an attack at the PB Sports store, Wigton Road, on 13 February.
At Carlisle Crown Court today, Robertson pleaded not guilty to that charge.
However, he pleaded guilty to three other offences - attempting to cause Vaughan Livesey grievous bodily harm, and possessing a blow torch and a machete in a public place.
Robertson's barrister Ian Hudson said that Mr Livesey's leg injuries amounted to "superficial burning and blistering" to "no more than 2%" of his body.
Judge James Adkin adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report and a victim statement from Mr Livesey, who needed hospital treatment.
Robertson, of Stainton, near Penrith, will be sentenced on 13 April and was remanded in custody.
"You know what the sentence is going to be - prison," Judge Adkin told him. "It is just a question of how long and what sort of sentence it is."
Jurors will continue to deliberate this lunchtime on assault charges against the former owner of a south Cumbrian residential school.

Yesterday, a member of maintenance staff was found not guilty of a single assault charge, while on Wednesday two former teachers were each also found not guilty of a single assault charge.
Prescription rates for opioid drugs in the North East and Cumbria are four times higher than in London, new analysis shows.
Nearly 24 million opioids, such as morphine, were prescribed in 2017 - equivalent to 2,700 packs an hour.
A drugs counsellor and former user told the BBC the NHS was "creating drug addicts".
The Royal College of GPs said doctors would not prescribe opioid painkillers as a "quick fix".
