West Midlands Roads have urged drivers to plan ahead as delays are expected.

A spokesperson added: “Road is currently closed heading southbound (towards Wolverhampton) due to emergency services.”

The road remains partially closed as of 12.50pm but is passable.

National Express West Midlands diverted its 3 and 4 bus services away from the area but they have now returned to the usual line of route.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of an RTC involving two cars on Stafford Road in Oxley, Wolverhampton at 11.54pm and sent an ambulance and a paramedic officer to the scene.

“On arrival, a man was treated for minor injuries and conveyed to New Cross Hospital.”
