TRAFFIC is slow moving along the M50 going eastbound due to an earlier accident.

A van and trailer crashed through the central barrier on the motorway between Junction 2 for Ledbury and Junction 1 for Tewkesbury.

One lane has been closed on the eastbound carriageway to deal with the incident and recovery work is currently underway.

A lane on the westbound carriageway had also been closed, but has since reopened.

Highways England estimates the delays will have cleared by between 11.15am and 11.30am.

The Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) tweeted to warn drivers of the delays this morning.

The M50 Westbound exit slip road is also closed at Junction 2 for Ledbury due to another crash on the A417.

Drivers are currently unable to leave the main carriageway, as investigation work of the incident continues on the A417.

Highways England has said delays will clear between 10am and 10.15am today (Tuesday).
