M5 lorry crash victim named as father-of-four
A man who died after a lorry crashed on the M5 in the Black Country has been named as Brian Harper.
The father-of-four was driving southbound between junctions two at Oldbury and three for Halesowen on Monday morning.
Police say the 61-year-old from Wednesbury was taken ill after it is believed he suffered a 'medical alert' at the wheel.
The Go-Direct lorry crashed into the central reservation at around 5.15am.
Mr Harper was taken to hospital but he was later pronounced dead.
The route reopened later later that morning.
