A man died in a crash on the M6 between between junctions 4 and 3a this morning, Monday.

Three vehicles were involved in the incident which occurred at the start of rush hour and continues to affect traffic in the area.

“The middle-aged man received advanced life support at the scene of the incident. He was then taken to University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire; the critical care paramedic from the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car travelled with the crew.
