Two people have been hurt after a lorry and a car collided leaving the lorry straddling a motorway central reservation.
The crash happened at about 2.20pm on Wednesday on the westbound M50 between junctions 1 and 2.
An ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham were sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance crews found the HGV on the central reservation and a car on its side; both had significant damage.
“The car driver was trapped for around 20 minutes. Ambulance and fire crews worked to extricate her safely. She was assessed at the scene before being airlifted to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
“The lorry driver was able to get out of the cab himself despite the damage. He was assessed and treated at the scene before being taken by land ambulance to the same hospital.”
The road is likely to be closed for some time due to the damage and recovery work.
