MOTORISTS battling rush-hour traffic in Quarry Bank yesterday (Monday) faced further delays following a three-car smash.

Traffic soon piled up past Merry Hill shopping centre, Brierley Hill, after the crash on Thorns Road at 5.25pm.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The accident had blocked both sides of the dual carriageway. There were three vehicles involved but noone was trapped. Just one person was treated for minor neck pain but they did not require hospital treatment.”
