Three people were injured in the crash on the northbound entry slip road at Junction 15 for Stoke-on-Trent at 8.35am this morning.

The smash led to the closure of the northbound carriageway between Junction 14 for Stafford North and Junction 16.

All lanes have now reopened.

Chris Kowalik, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman, said: "Two cars were involved in the collision.

"Two off-duty clinicians who were passing the scene stopped to help before ambulance crews arrived.

"In one of the cars were a man and a woman. She had pelvic and leg injuries. She was given pain relief, a leg splint and pelvic binder were applied and she was immobilised as a precaution. He had an arm injury and a minor chest injury. He was also immobilised as a precaution and was given pain relief.

"A man who was driving the other car involved managed to get himself out and was a 'walking wounded' casualty with minor injuries.

"All three were taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital."

Normal traffic conditions are expected by 3.15pm.
