All M6 lanes reopened after three lorry collision causes severe delays
All lanes on the M6 southbound have been reopened after a collision caused delays of 90 minutes earlier today.
The crash, which was reported at around 1pm, resulted in the closure of two lanes on the M6 southbound between Junction 10 and Junction 9 near Walsall.
Emergency services, National Highway Traffic Officers and recovery agents all attended the scene where a van and lorry had crashed.
A woman, who was driving the van, was assessed at the scene for injuries not believed to be serious, while the lorry driver did not require assessment.
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 2.17pm to reports of a road traffic collision involving a van and a lorry on the M6 South in Walsall.
"One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended.
"Upon arrival we found a woman who was the driver of the van.
"She was assessed and had sustained injuries not believed to be serious.
"She received self care advice and was discharged at the scene.
"The driver of the lorry did not require assessment."
Delays currently remain at 45 minutes long on the M6 southbound between J11 and J9, but with all lanes back open, this is expected to ease.
