A massive fire on a lorry carrying potentially hazardous chemicals has sparked travel chaos on a busy motorway. Images show motorists chatting to each other on the carriageway of the M5 in Somerset having left their cars after the road was completely shut off between junction 23 for Bridgwater and junction 22 for Burnham-on-Sea.
Motorists are being advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes if they have to travel. National Highways said "We are advising drivers intending to use the M5 to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys following an earlier serious incident in North Somerset. "Emergency services including Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue are on scene. National Highways Traffic Officers are also on scene to assist with traffic management. Please remain in your vehicles and await instruction from a traffic officer or police."
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed: "Northbound is open but the tailback is back to jnc 25. Southbound is still closed while fire deal and the tailback is to jnc 20."
