The carriageway reopened at about 16:15 GMT.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said three vehicles were involved and one woman had to be cut free by fire crews.

A spokesperson said her injuries were not thought to be life-threatening and she was taken to the Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further checks.
