DELAYS are likely on local motorways after three lorries collided on the M40 near its junction with the M42 resulting in one of the drivers being taken to hospital.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the northbound carriageway just before it meets the M42 shortly before 10.50am today (Friday, March 11).
Two ambulance crews and a paramedic area support officer in a rapid response vehicle attended.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “One of the lorries had collided with a bridge support and was on its side. Its driver, a man in his 30s had leg pain.
“He was immobilised and was given pain relief but because of the amount of damage to the cab, he was taken to the major trauma centre at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further assessment and treatment.
“One of the other lorry drivers had back pain but he refused hospital treatment. The third lorry driver was uninjured.
“Delays are expected on both the M40 and the M42 for the rest of the afternoon.”
