One person was taken to hospital after a serious collision on the M5 in Somerset that led to it being temporarily closed on Tuesday (July 30th).
The motorway was shut between junction 23 (Bridgwater north) and junction 24 (Bridgwater south) from around 10am and partially re-opened at around 12.15pm.
National Highways said there were long delays of over an hour for motorists as queues backed up in both directions towards Burnham-On-Sea and Taunton.
A Police spokesman said: “We were called at around 10am on Tuesday, 30th July to a single-vehicle collision on the M5.”
“One person was taken to hospital by land ambulance.”
“The motorway was initially closed in both directions while emergency services were on the scene, including an air ambulance.“
“If anyone was in the area and witnessed the collision, or has dashcam footage, please call 101 and quote reference 5224198427.”
