A driver escaped injury after their car hit a barrier on the M54 this afternoon - forcing one lane of the motorway to be closed.

The driver of the white Audi was examined by paramedics at the scene and discharged following the accident just before 1pm where the car hit the central reservation.

One lane travelling eastbound was closed to traffic while the emergency services were at the scene, causing delays for drivers.

Terri-Anne Powell, a spokeswoman for West Mercia Police, said: "We were called just before 1pm today following reports of a collision on the M54 near to Telford J7 to J6 Cuddley to Ketley."

The Central Motorways Policing Group shared a photograph from the scene on Twitter.
