The incident took place at around 8.50am and saw emergency services and traffic officers rush to the scene – the scene has since been cleared and all lanes are now open.

National Highways announced the incident on Twitter, writing: "Traffic is stopped on the #M6 northbound between J3 (#Coventry) and J3A (#M42) due to a multi-vehicle collision.

"Emergency services and traffic officers are on the scene. There is approximately 3.5 miles of congestion on approach so please allow additional journey time."
