Long M6 delays after four-vehicle crash in rush hour
Rush-hour commuters on the M6 were left facing long delays after a four-vehicle crash.
There were around 10 miles of tailbacks on the M6 southbound between Junction 12 for Gailey and Junction 11a southwest of Cannock after the collision happened at around 8.30am.
Traffic was held from 8.50am following the accident, which involved three cars and a van, with emergency services worked at the scene.
Ambulance crews assessed two people after the crash. Both were discharged at the scene.
One lane was opened up to allow traffic to pass around an hour after the crash happened before the vehicles were cleared and all lanes were reopened at around 11.15am.
A Highways England spokesman said there were delays of around an hour and more than nine miles of congestion before the motorway returned to normal.
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said an ambulance had been called to the scene around 8.33am, with two ambulance staff on the way.
