Man 'seriously injured' after multi-car collision on M5 

A man has been seriously injured after a multi-car crash on the M5 this morning (8th Oct).

The collisions forced emergency crews to close the northbound carriageway between Junctions 3 and 2 for much of the morning. 

West Midlands Ambulance Service sent out three ambulances and a trauma team after receiving an emergency call just before 6am.

Ambulance crews say two other men were assessed and discharged at the scene with minor injuries.
