There were delays on the M5 motorway between Burnham-On-Sea and Bridgwater on Friday (October 6th) after several collisions.
National Highways said at lunchtime that three separate crashes had occurred between J23 (Bridgwater) and J22 (Burnham-On-Sea), which led to the northbound carriageway being temporarily closed.
The motorway re-opened at around 1.15pm, however tailbacks of slow-moving traffic persisted through the afternoon.
“There were delays of 45 minutes and approximately 5 miles of congestion,” said National Highways.
