PICTURES: M6 Toll closed after serious crash
A man had to be cut free from a car after a crash on the M6 Toll which had closed the road this evening.
The pay-to-use road was closed in both directions between Junctions 6 and 7 while the rescue took place earlier this evening.
The incident happened around 7.40pm and involved a collision between two saloon cars on the northbound carriageway.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find two cars with substantial damage.
"The man driving one car had miraculously only suffered minor injuries and after being checked over by medics was discharged.
"A man and a woman travelling in the second car had both suffered injuries. The man had suffered a short loss of consciousness and was disorientated after the crash. The woman had suffered a fractured nose and cuts and bruises to her face. Following treatment the man was cut from the vehicle by the fire service, the woman had managed to self-extricate from the wreckage.
"Both received emergency treatment at the scene from medics, and both were transferred by land ambulance to New Cross Hospital for further treatment. Both patients were believed to be in their early 20s.
"Considering the damage to the vehicles, all three were fortunate not to have suffered more serious injuries."
Fire crews from Cannock, Aldridge and Bloxwich also attended.
