Traffic Alert: Motorway users warned of long delays following accident

DRIVERS have been warned of long delays on the M6 around Birmingham following an accident between a car and a van.

Two lanes are closed on the northbound carriageway between Junction 5 (Castle Bromwich) and Junction 6 (Spaghetti Junction) while recovery takes place.

However, the ongoing roadworks in the area are compounding delays.

Highways England has warned of delays of up to 90 minutes against normal travel times and the situation is not expected to clear for at least another hour.

There are reports of tailbacks beyond the connection with the M42 and beyond to Junction 4.

Motorists have been advised to try and avoid the area and to allow extra time for their journeys.
