Emergency services closed the A38M Aston Expressway onto the M6 southbound, the A38 Tyburn Road on to the M6 southbound and the Junction 6 of the M6 southbound onto the A38M.
The link road from the M6 southbound onto the Aston Expressway was reopened shortly after lunchtime on Friday but the other links remained closed for ongoing recovery and clear-up of large diesel spill.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of an overturned lorry at the junction of the A38 and M6 at 6.58am and sent one ambulance, a MERIT trauma doctor and our Hazardous Area Response Team to the scene.
On arrival we found one male patient, the lorry driver, who had managed to get himself out of the vehicle.
"He was treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to Heartlands Hospital for further assessment

I always take it easy at corners and roundabouts. You have explained everything perfectly
