Lanes reopen on stretch of M6 after multi-vehicle collision that caused miles of congestion

Lanes have reopened on a stretch of the M6 in the West Midlands after a crash.

Earlier this morning (May 28), one lane was closed on the M6 northbound between junction 5, Sutton Coldfield, and junction 6, Birmingham, after a multi-vehicle crash.

National Highways warned drivers of delays of 55 minutes and four miles of congestion on approach.

Motorists were also warned to expect delays.

West Midlands Police and traffic officers were at the scene.

Lanes have since reopened and congestion has eased.

The Express & Star has contacted West Midlands Police and West Midlands Ambulance Service for more information.
