M54 closed near Telford due to police incident
The M54 was closed one way for more than an hour this morning due to a 'police incident'.
Highways England and police confirmed the closure of the section from Junction five to Junction four eastbound – the junction for Telford town centre.
The road was closed from around 5.20am to 6.31am.
West Mercia Police's operations and communication centre put details of the closure on Twitter, although did not expand on the reason why.
