A driver has been arrested after a crash closed a road in Lichfield.

Cappers Lane was shut near Trent Valley island following a collision between an orange Renault and a White Audi at 1.25pm today (20th August), causing long tailbacks on surrounding roads.

A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:

> “The driver of the Audi, a 26-year-old man from the Rugeley area, was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving. He remains in police custody while inquiries continue.  
>  
> “The Renault driver, a woman, was treated by paramedics at the scene for neck pain and a foot injury.”
