Driver suffers 'medical episode' before crashing into barriers on M6
A man has been taken to hospital after suffering a suspected "medical episode" before colliding with the central reservation on the M6.
The incident happened on the northbound section between M6 Junction 10 at Walsall and Junction 10A for the M54 at around 7.34pm on Sunday.
The driver was taken to New Cross Hospital for further assessment.
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service: "We were called to reports of a car that had crashed into the central reservation between junctions 10 and 10A on the northbound M6 at 7.34pm last night and sent one ambulance and a paramedic officer to the scene.
"On arrival we discovered one male patient, the driver of the car, who crews were told had suffered a suspected medical episode prior to the collision.
"Following treatment at the scene he was taken to New Cross Hospital for further assessment."
The northbound carriageway was closed while emergency services attended the scene, with all four lanes not reported to be open again until around 10.30pm, three hours after the crash occurred.
