Long delays on M5 near West Bromwich after lorry spills offal
There are long delays on the M5 near West Bromwich after a lorry shed its load, spilling offal across the carriageway.

It has left long delays over about six miles down the motorway and around an hour of delays while National Highways officers work to clear the scene.

"There is currently approximately six miles of congestion on approach, causing delays of 60 minutes above usual journey times."
