Major M5 Closure After Vehicle Leaves Road
A serious crash has forced the closure of the M5 motorway in Gloucestershire this morning, sparking significant traffic delays. The incident, which involved a vehicle leaving the carriageway, occurred on the northbound carriageway between Junction 14 for Falfield and Junction 13 for Stroud.
Emergency Services at the Scene
Emergency services, including Gloucestershire Police, are currently at the scene. National Highways Traffic Officers are also present, assisting with traffic management around the closure. Due to the severity of the crash, a full police investigation has been launched.
Long Delays Expected for Drivers
The police investigation means the closure is expected to remain in place for several hours. This has already led to heavy traffic building in the area as motorists seek alternative routes. Drivers are being strongly advised to avoid the area if possible and to allow for extra journey time.
