Armed police have surrounded a coach on the M6 Toll motorway in the West Midlands.

The road has been shut in both directions between junctions T3 and T4 at Weeford Park Plaza, near Lichfield.

West Midlands Police said the coach was on the hard shoulder and had "stopped of its own accord".

The Highways Agency said traffic was stationary and the closure was likely to remain in place until early afternoon.

The fire service, police from the West Midlands and Staffordshire forces and ambulance crews are at the scene, helping to get people off the coach.

Wow, not an everyday occurance, what could they think is happening on the coach that warrants closing the whole motorway?

Would not be best pleased if I was stuck in that traffic!
