Motorway brought to standstill due to debris with long delays
All lanes reopened after commuters faced heavy delays as a major motorway was brought to a standstill.
Commuters were warned of delays of around 20 minutes and congestion around two miles long after debris was scattered across the M5 motorway.
Traffic was stopped in both directions while National Highways officers clean the area, with National Highways warning travellers to plan ahead.
National Highways announced the issue on Twitter: "Traffic has been temporarily stopped on the link road from the M5 J4A south to M42 north near Bromsgrove due to debris in the carriageway.
"National Highways traffic officers are on scene and working to clear the carriageway. Delays of 20 minutes and approx. 2 miles of congestion."
National Highways has announced that all lanes have now reopened, with traffic flowing freely along the route.
