M5 closed at Halesowen after fatal lorry crash 26 July 2011 Last updated at 06:50 GMT

Tuesday, 26 July 2011

The M5 has been closed following a fatal crash involving a lorry.
The lorry was travelling northbound when it hit a bridge and caught fire at about 02:00 BST close to junction 3, for Halesowen.
The motorway has been closed between junction 3 and junction 4 for Bromsgrove. Carters Lane, on the bridge above the carriageway, has also shut.
The lorry driver died at the scene and the motorway is not expected to reopen until at least 12:00.
Bridge damage Keith Mann, operations managers for the Highways Agency, said diversions had been put in place.
He said he expected the crash would not cause significant delays in the area as there was less traffic on the roads because it was the school holidays.
Police investigators are still at the scene and structural engineers will assess the damage to the bridge later.
Anyone with information about the crash has been asked to contact Central Motorways Policing Group.
