A HGV was caught on camera veering across the busy M6 near Walsall and tearing down a stretch of the central reservation barrier.

The footage captures the moment the yellow HGV, travelling northbound on the carriageway to the right, veers into the third lane as it comes under the gantry before mounting the central reservation barrier and driving along the steel guard until going out of view

Footage of the incident, which caused 90-minute delays for drivers, has been released by National Highways which is appealing for information.
