Lane 1 (of 2) was closed on the Westbound carriageway between Junction 2 for Wolverhampton and Junction 3 for Cosford and Shifnal.

Recovery specialists reached the scene at around 8.10am but the lane remained closed to allow the vehicle to be recovered safely.

There was around five miles of congestion on approach, causing at least 30 minute delays for drivers.
