A public appeal for information has been launched after a tipper truck collided with an overhead gantry on the M5 earlier today (March 2). Investigating officers from Avon and Somerset Police are keen to hear from anyone who saw the lorry in the moments before the crash.
Police were called to the southbound carriageway between Cribbs Causeway and Avonmouth at around 8.20am. It has been confirmed that no one was injured in the crash but the motorway remains closed southbound as National Highways engineers assess damage done to the gantry and the road surface.
The force are urging anyone who witnessed the lorry driving before the crash, or who has relevant dash cam footage, to come forward and help enquiries. If you can help, call 101 and quote reference 5223050000.
