There were delays on the M5 motorway between Burnham-On-Sea and Bridgwater on Thursday (November 2nd) after a caravan overturned during high winds caused by Storm Ciarán.
Two lanes were temporarily closed on the M5 Southbound between junction 22 for Burnham-On-Sea and junction 23 for Bridgwater North, as pictured here.
The caravan overturned at around 10.20am during a period of gusty strong winds. Several miles of queueing traffic quickly built up, but fortunately there were no serious injuries.
At 1pm, National Highways said: “The scene is now clear and all lanes have re-opened on the M5 between J22 and J23. Thank you for your patience.”
Gusts of up to 60mph hit the Burnham-On-Sea area as the storm moved through, leaving several trees down and several small power cuts.
