Severe tailbacks remained on the M5 northbound in Somerset this morning after two earlier crashes.
The update gives drivers little more to work with than the immediate traffic impact, but the key point is clear: the disruption was still ongoing after the incidents earlier in the day.
What is known so far
The traffic delay was reported on the M5 northbound in Somerset, with the queues linked to two earlier crashes this morning. No further details about the crashes were included in the update.
For drivers using that stretch of motorway, the practical effect was straightforward: a major route in Somerset was heavily delayed, and the congestion remained in place as the morning went on.
Why it matters
When traffic problems hit a main motorway route such as the M5, the knock-on effect can be significant for anyone travelling through Somerset. With two crashes already causing disruption, the tailbacks were a reminder of how quickly a busy road can slow to a crawl.
At this stage, the only confirmed takeaway is that the northbound M5 was still affected this morning and the queues were severe enough to be noticeable well beyond the immediate crash scenes.
