lorry driver has been charged with drink driving after crashing into a low railway bridge on Summer Road in Erdington, causing widespread disruption across Birmingham. The collision led to a halt in Cross City line train services north of Aston, significantly affecting routes between Birmingham and Lichfield.
The incident, which took place earlier today, created major road delays as nearby streets were jammed with traffic diverting from the accident site. Sutton New Road, Reservoir Road, Gravelly Hill North, and surrounding routes experienced prolonged congestion, with some motorists stranded in gridlock for hours.
Authorities are urging motorists to continue avoiding the area and have advised public transport users to check for updates on service changes before travelling.
