A woman has been taken to hospital with injuries after a collision involving a car and a lorry on the M6 on Monday morning (November 9th).

Emergency services were called to the scene in the early hours of the morning at Junction 3 on the M6 near Coventry after receiving reports of a crash on the road.

During the operation, one lane of the motorway was closed while officers attended the scene. A woman was removed from the scene and taken to hospital, where she currently remains being treated for her injuries.

A spokesperson from the West Midlands Ambulance Service, who attended the incident, said: "We were called at 6.20am to a road traffic collision involving one car on junctions 3a to 3 of the M6 in Fillongley.

"One ambulance attended the scene. Upon arrival we found a woman who was the driver of the car. She was assessed and had sustained injuries not believed to be serious.

"She received treatment at the scene before being conveyed to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further assessment."

The incident would eventually cause six miles of congestion and delays lasting over an hour while emergency services cleared the scene.
