WORK to recover a broken down lorry on the M5 is now complete but delays of over an hour remain.

Three lanes were closed on the M5 northbound between junctions 5 - A38 (Droitwich / Wychbold) and 4A - M42 earlier this afternoon for over an hour.

The HGV had seized brakes and could not be moved according to a Highways England tweet, but recovery vehicles arrived at the scene at 1.05pm.

The lorry had come to a halt in lane three, while lanes two and four were also closed as a precaution.
