According to Inrix the incident involved three cars, a lorry and a van - and the northbound route has been shut for around 11 hours.

A diversion is in place around the closure. The route is marked out with a solid triangle symbol on local road signs:

  • Exit the M5 at J22 and at the roundabout take the third exit on to the A38
  • Follow the A38 northbound to the next roundabout and take the first exit on to the A370
  • Remain on the A370 in to Weston-Super-Mare
  • At the junction with the A3033 just after Weston-Super-Mare Cricket Club turn right
  • Follow the A3033 Devonshire Road northbound to the roundabout with the A370
  • Take the third exit on to the A370 eastbound
  • Remain on the A370 out of Weston-Super-Mare to J21 of the M5
  • Take the first exit from the junction roundabout to re-join the M5 northbound

Avon and Somerset Police has been approached for a comment.
