A THREE-car accident halted the progress of holidaymakers hoping to make an early getaway yesterday.
The incident took place on the M5 northbound between Junctions 6 and 5 at 2pm.
The vehicles were cleared within an hour, but traffic remained slow for some time afterwards.
The accident also had a direct impact on people travelling through Droitwich.
Drivers tried to avoid the queues by going through the town, only to find themselves blocked again.
Councillor Andrew Christian-Brookes, who was travelling to Droitwich from Worcester at the time, described the tailbacks as "horrendous".
