THE M5 is partially blocked after a three-vehicle crash.
The Highways Agency initially shut the southbound carriageway between Junction 5 at Wychbold and Junction 6 at Worcester to clear the wreckage.
The accident happened at 5.25pm.
The centre and nearside lanes were reopened a short while later, but traffic queues remain and drivers are advised to find alternative routes home during rush hour.
