Traffic on the M5 motorway was brought to a standstill southbound as crews worked to recover a lorry that had left the carriageway between Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare. The incident caused significant congestion, with long queues forming along this stretch of the motorway.
Emergency services and recovery teams were deployed to the scene to safely remove the vehicle and clear the roadway. Drivers were advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes where possible while the recovery operation was underway.
The exact cause of the lorry leaving the carriageway has not been confirmed, but authorities responded promptly to manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
