WORK to recover a broken down lorry on the M5 is now complete but delays of over an hour remain.
Three lanes were closed on the M5 northbound between junctions 5 - A38 (Droitwich / Wychbold) and 4A - M42 earlier this afternoon for over an hour.
The HGV had seized brakes and could not be moved according to a Highways England tweet, but recovery vehicles arrived at the scene at 1.05pm.
The lorry had come to a halt in lane three, while lanes two and four were also closed as a precaution.
Recovery is complete, and all lanes have reopened on the #M5 northbound between J5 and J4A following the earlier broken down vehicle. Delays of over an hour remain so please allow extra time for your journey. pic.twitter.com/NUgIDabnfU
