A crew from West Midlands Ambulance Service was called the scene and treated the female driver of the car, who the service said did not appear injured, but was taken to Walsall Manor Hospital for further assessment.

The motorway was confirmed as fully reopened by National Highways at around 2.45pm, with residual delays of around 30 minutes.
