ONE lane had to be closed after two lorries were involved in an accident on the M42 in Bromsgrove.

The incident happened near Junction 1, Lickey End, just after 6am this morning, (October 20).

This led to congestion on the M42 to Junction 3, near Wychbold.

One of the lorries was carrying concrete pipes that weighed four tonnes each, with several of them falling onto the carriageway, which had to be removed.
