Tipper truck ends up vertical and wedged after crash that shuts motorway

Part of a main road just after the Prince of Wales bridge remains closed after a tipper truck hit an overhead gantry. The M5 has been shut near Cribbs Causeway since the accident at around 8.40am on Thursday (March 2).

Photographs from the scene show the tipper truck wedged vertically between the gantry and the motorway. For several hours the carriageway on both sides was shut between junction 17 Cribbs Causeway and junction 18 the M49 that leads to the Seven crossing.
