Major motorway blocked after broken down vehicle and police incident

A major motorway has been blocked after a broken down vehicle and a police incident.

The M5 is blocked northbound between junction 1 for West Bromwich and the M6.

The broken down vehicle has now been moved off the road and onto the hard shoulder by National Highways officers, but there has since been an incident which has forced the road to remain closed.

Queues are reaching as far back as junction 3 for Quinton, with drivers facing 45-minute delays.

In other travel news, there are severe delays on the Jubilee line of the London Underground due to a shortage of trains.

And trains are back up and running between Shrewsbury and Machynlleth following a train crash in which a passenger died on October 21.
