A broken down vehicle that was causing severe traffic on the M5 Northbound near Bridgwater has now been cleared.

The exit sliproad for Junction 23, A39 Bridgwater North, had one lane closed, which caused tailbacks on the motorway.

Also this morning there has been a crash on the A361 near the Rose & Crown pub at Lyng.

The incident is causing disruption in both directions on the road near Northmoor Lane.
