Traffic moving on M6 at reduced speeds more than 12 hours after three-lorry crash
Traffic is now being let through at reduced speeds on the M6 northbound in the aftermath of a three-lorry crash in the early hours.
A man has been taken to hospital with potentially serious injuries following the collision which took place between Junction 13 for Penkridge and Junction 14 for Stafford at around 1.04am on Thursday.
All four lanes require resurfacing as a result of the crash due to a "substantial" diesel spillage.
The works will be carried out overnight with a full closure of the lanes expected to be put in place from 9pm.
In an effort to reduce delays during evening rush hour, National Highways has said officials have removed the top layer of the road in order to let through traffic at a reduced speed.
Motorists can currently travel along the planed surface at a speed of 40mph but have been warned of delays of more than an hour.
