A woman was left with only minor injuries when her car left the eastbound carriageway and went down the embankment between Junction 4 at Shifnal and Junction 3 at Albrighton.

The incident happened at about 5.20pm and other cars stopped to help before emergency services arrived to release the woman.

The crash blocked one lane of the motorway and left cars with up to 10 minutes of delays.

At 6.45pm, a two-car crash on the slip road off the motorway island from the A464 Priorslee Road travelling westbound caused more problems for drivers.

Motorists reported one lane closed and long delays but no one was hurt in the smash.
