A junction of the M6 in Staffordshire has been closed because of an overturned lorry.

National Highways said it happened at the junction 15 roundabout and prevented access to the motorway.

National Highways reported recovery was under way at 04:23, but said the northbound and southbound entry slip roads were still closed.

It said "significant barrier repairs" needed to take place.

The M6 southbound between junctions 16 and 14 was closed overnight for planned roadworks, but has since reopened.
