Crashes chaos for motorists
Drivers were hit by delays today caused by two smashes on major Black Country commuter routes.
The inside lane of the M6 was affected by a collision between a lorry and a car below the J10 roundabout for Walsall and Wolverhampton at around 7.30am.
And a section of Wolverhampton Road West had to be closed for around an hour in Bentley after a two-car collision at around the same time. One driver was hurt.
Meanwhile, a man was airlifted to hospital with serious leg injuries when his van hit a concrete pillar on the M5 at 6.55pm.
Traffic was at a standstill for four hours between Junction 3 at Birmingham and Junction 2 at Oldbury after the accident involving a white van, driven by a man in his 40s from Stourport.
And a 16-year-old went to hospital after being struck by a van along Wolverhampton Road, Pelsall, shortly after 4pm yesterday.
