Lane reopened on M54 after 'multi-vehicle' collision - but drivers warned of delays
A lane has reopened on the M54 westbound after a multi-vehicle collision had caused it to be closed.
Police are on the scene between Junction 2 at Wolverhampton and Junction 3 at Albrighton. Vehicle recovery is being arranged.
There are currently delays of 55 minutes above normal travel time, with approximately five miles of congestion backed up on the road.
Road users are advised to take alternative routes where possible, and to give themselves plenty of time to make their journeys.
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We were called by the police at 11.49pm last night (Tuesday) to reports of an RTC involving multiple vehicles between junctions 2 and 3 of the M54 near Brewood.
"Two ambulances, two paramedic officers and a critical care car from Midlands Air Ambulance Charity responded to the scene and arrived to find a HGV which had crashed through the central reservation.
"Four people were assessed by ambulance staff.
"Two men were given treatment for non-serious injuries and were taken to New Cross Hospital for further precautionary checks.
"The remaining two people were discharged on scene.
Staffordshire Police have been approached for comment.
