Five miles of delays hit M6 between Coleshill and A444 Bedworth …

A multi vehicle collision has led to huge delays on the M6 between Coleshill and the A444 Bedworth bypass. It has been reported that there has been an accident on the M6 Southbound from J4 M42 J7 (Coleshill) to J3 A444 Bedworth Bypass (Nuneaton / Coventry).

As a result, National Highways has closed lane one of four southbound. This is causing around five miles of congestion along the busy motorway stretch.

Currently this is causing delays of up to 20 minutes and recovery is set to be on its way.

It is not yet known what or how many vehicles are involved. CoventryLive has contacted West Midlands Ambulance Service and Warwickshire Police for further details.
