Drivers caught in long tailbacks after four-car crash blocks M54
Drivers were caught up in long tailbacks on the M54 after four cars were involved in an accident.
One of the cars, travelling eastbound, hit the central reservation just before junction six for Telford yesterday.
That section of the motorway was already down to one lane due to bridge repairs, leaving no space for cars to pass.
One driver, who did not wish to be named, said: "It couldn't have happened in a worse place. The first car's front end was completely crumpled, with two more cars behind it in the roadworks.
"Clearly no cars could get past the accident and the tailback was just getting longer and longer."
A Highways Agency spokesman said: "It was a four-car collision and we were informed about 4.30pm. Working alongside the police, we cleared the road and it was reopened at 5.45pm."
