TRAFFIC is slow on the northbound carriageway of the M5 following a three-car crash near junction six for north Worcester.

One lane was closed following the crash at 4.45pm and traffic was entirely halted for about five minutes while the vehicles were moved to the hard shoulder.

All three lanes are now re-open but congestion is being caused as far back as junction seven for south Worcester.

The conditions of the people in the cars is not currently known.
