Live: M5 delays and heavy traffic through Bristol

Drives face delays through Bristol following reports of long queues on the M5. Traffic is queuing on the motorway southbound between A38 Gloucester Road and Clevedon.

The long backlog of congestion is likely to cause delays on the motorway this evening. It follows an earlier crash on the M48 over the Sever Bridge which is still causing delays at the crossing.

Traffic monitoring system Inrix reports traffic picks up at points between Gloucester Road and Clevedon.
