The motorway reopened in the early hours but Highways England officials advised drivers that delays could remain into mid-morning.
One lane is closed while repairs continue.
Officials were also liaising with the organisers of V Festival held at Weston Park, in Stafford, over the weekend as festival-goers begin making their way home today.

The relatives of the man who died have been informed.
The M6 was closed at junction 10a near the M54 while specialist investigators examined the scene for clues. CCTV was also currently being reviewed.
Highways England spokeswoman Sam Harris, said: "We will liaise with V Festival as it may impact some of the exodus. We will talk with V Festival to pass that message on."
Witnesses to the crash should call West Midlands Police on 101 quoting reference number 1400 of August 21.
