Motorists have been told to stay away from the M42 in South Warwickshire after a crash this afternoon (March 28).

Warwickshire Police said officers were called to a single vehicle collision on the southbound carriageway at junction 3.

The exit slip road is currently closed and is "likely to remain for some time," the force said.

"Please avoid the area where possible and follow diversion sign," a police statement said.

The Traffic England website says normal traffic is not expected to resume until 6.15pm.
