Live: M5 delays as shed load spills on motorway and closes lane

One lane was closed on the M5 southbound following reports a fuel spillage on the motorway. Traffic was moving slowly between junction 19 and junction 20.

Traffic camera images showed long queues building on the motorway in Bristol, with further delays likely as rush hour gets underway. Traffic monitoring system Inrix reported: "One lane closed and slow traffic due to shed load on M5 southbound from J19 A369 Martcombe Road (Portishead) to J20 B3133 Ettlingen Way (Clevedon)."

National Highways later confirmed the incident involved a fuel spillage. In an update at around 7pm, National Highways said the lane had reopened.
