Police have re-opened part of the M5 motorway near Burnham-On-Sea following an eight vehicle accident on Friday morning (April 6th).
Both carriageways were shut between junction 21 at Weston and junction 22 at Burnham to allow an air ambulance to land.
A police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “A 49 year-old male and a 48-year-old woman were seriously injured in the accident.”
“The male was taken to Frenchay hospital and the lady to Weston General.”
Drivers were urged to take alternative routes as there were tailbacks of up to eight miles.
