The incident happened about 6am in the eastbound direction close to Junction 7 at the start of the M54 at Wellington.

It is believed the lorry had a blown-out tyre and police blocked off the inside carriageway to deal with the incident.

Traffic queued back for a number of miles towards Shrewsbury delaying drivers for more than 20 minutes.
