Six casualties from the collision were taken to the Worcester Royal Hospital and the Alexandra Hospital at Redditch by ambulance, two of them remain in a serious condition.
Motorists were delayed behind the scene as the northbound carriageway remained closed for about three hours and are thanked for their patience.
