A CRASH on the M6 near Rugby this morning (Tuesday May 17) left debris across the carriageway.

Three cars and a lorry collided around half a mile before junction 1 on the southbound carriageway just before 7.45am.

When ambulances arrived, they found debris across all three lanes. One of the cars was badly damaged, as was a section of the crash barrier.

A man in his 40s was helped out of vehicle before being taken by ambulance to University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire with a suspected head injury.




Three other patients – a 24 year old woman with aches and pains, a 32 year old man with minor neck pain and a man in his 40s – were discharged at the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Thankfully, the injuries were not too serious, which allowed traffic to start moving again while emergency services worked at the scene.”
