M6 closed after horsebox crash | |
(40 minutes later) | |
A section of the M6 has been closed after a crash involving a horsebox and two other vehicles. | |
A horse died and a man and a woman were seriously injured in the crash at 14:25 BST on the southbound carriageway just before the exit for the M42. | |
The motorway has been closed in both directions between junction 5 near Castle Bromwich and junction 4A, where the M6 meets the M42. | |
The Highways Agency said it was not expected to reopen until 18:30 BST. | |
Two other horses were left on the carriageway and secured by members of the public until officers arrived, police said. | |
The motorway was closed so casualties could be treated and to allow two air ambulances to land. |
