I was sat for about 90 mins on Thurs in this, the s/b was closed, and the n/b also while the air ambulance landed. They diverted the traffic through the msa.
At the start of the slip road in lane 1 there was a Merc car wedged right under the back of a trailer, the windscreen had gone under, so it didn’t look good. One version was the truck had broken down was stationery, and the car went under it
Hope the occupants came out of it ok, does anybody know?
I’d imagine its a case of car driver not paying attention till the last second.

Yeh you are more than likely right mate, but as I said, I just wondered if everybody is OK.
I heard that the driver was airlifted with serious injuries, but the amount of time the road was closed, I did wonder if it was a fatal
Took a long time to stabilise and extract the poor chap. He flat lined several times during the process apparently

Ambulance staff provided emergency trauma care to a man whose car ended up partially trapped beneath a lorry on the M6 in Cannock this morning.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to reports of a car which had been involved in a collision with a lorry on the southbound carriageway of the M6 between junctions 11 and 10a near Hilton Park Services at 8.07am (Thursday).
An ambulance, a paramedic area support officer, a community paramedic and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford with a MERIT trauma doctor on board attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When the emergency services arrived they found a car which had sustained significant damage following a collision with a lorry. The front of the car was underneath the rear of the lorry and the car driver, a man, was trapped in the wreckage.
“Whilst police closed both carriageways of the motorway so that the air ambulance could land close by, ambulance staff began assessing the man who was in a serious condition after sustaining injuries to his chest and face. Whilst the team of medics administered treatment and worked with the fire service to rapidly extricate the man, his condition deteriorated and he went into cardiac arrest. After 20 minutes of advanced life support and pre-hospital interventions, ambulance staff and the doctor managed to restart the man’s heart.
“The trauma doctor travelled in the land ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, a regional trauma centre, to continue emergency care en route. The man’s condition is said to be critical.”

If the medics on scene inform the police that injuries could be “life changing” then the road will be kept closed so that a full collision investigation can be carried out, it doesn’t necessary need to be a fatal. This means that the AI trained officers need to be released from whatever they are doing and to get their gear together then get to the scene (Not all traffic police are trained AI) On nights this time is usually extended because they may have to be called in from their homes.
Sad outcome 
Seems like the poor chap never made it

Very sad. How many lives shattered or changed irrevocably by something that probably could easily have been avoided?
Rip poor chap.
also what an incredible attitude shown by his family in such a terrible time.
