Emergency services raced to the scene of a horror crash on the M6, with drivers being warned of severe 90-minute delays along a stretch of one of the UK's busiest motorways.
A diversion was put in place and it was initially not known whether anyone had sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision.
However - after hours of mile long tailbacks - the M6 has now re-opened, traffic is once again freeflowing and there were no injuries.
A post on the National Highways website read: "The M6 in Staffordshire is closed northbound between J15 (Stoke-on-Trent) and J16 (Crewe) following a collision involving a car and a lorry.
"Emergency services including Staffordshire Police are in attendance. National Highways Traffic Officers are also on scene assisting with traffic management."
"No injuries were reported and recovery was arranged. Traffic is now moving slowly in the area."
A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We were called to this initially but then stood down prior to arrival as no longer required."
