The motorway's northbound section closed at junction T7, which branches off to Walsall and Brownhills, following the crash at 2.20pm.

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said the incident involved a 'HGV that had collided with the barrier and spilt its fuel'.

Two lanes remain open on the southbound carriageway, the spokesman added.

A Highways England spokesman said the lorry had crossed 'from the south to northbound section causing a significant diesel spill'.
