Overturned HGV to cause rush-hour delays on A50

The A50 in Staffordshire is closed westbound between the A522 and A521 near Blythe Bridge, due to an overturned HGV.

Staffordshire Police are on scene. The closure is likely to remain in place for several hours.

A diversion is in place. A statement from Highways England said: “For traffic approaching the delays locally, you are advised to expect disruption with extra journey time and you may wish to re-route or delay your journey.
