Debris was spread across both carriageways and the central reservation barrier damaged.

The northbound side reopened but the southbound carriageway was expected to stay closed throughout Saturday, National Highways added.

The lorry driver was taken to hospital with a serious arm injury, Warwickshire Police said.
