DRIVERS are being urged to avoid the A38 Lydiate Ash Island after a serious crash.

There was no access to M5 J4 from the A38 Northbound due to a collision earlier this morning.

The A38 is now open Northbound (towards M5 J4) but remains closed Southbound.

Police are urging drivers to find a different route.

Traffic heading towards Birmingham and M5 J4 should consider using A491 Sandy Lane expecting long delays.
