TRAFFIC is still queuing on the M5 northbound between J25 A358 (Taunton) and J24 A38 (Bridgwater South).

The northbound side of the motorway has been heavily congested for most of the afternoon as a result of an accident at the J24 motorway exit.

Congestion was later made worse by reports of a broken down vehicle stranded in the outside lane between the two junctions.
