There are delays on the M5 this morning after two separate crashes.

The motorway is heavily congested around the Burnham-on-Sea area between J22 (Burnham-On-Sea) and J23 A39 (Bridgwater North).

This is due to an earlier accident just before 7am.

There have also been two lanes closed due to broken down car on the M5 Northbound from J20 B3133 Ettlingen Way (Clevedon) to J19 A369 Martcombe Road (Portishead). 

There is slow traffic and travel time is 45 minutes, according to Travel Somerset.

In another incident towards Exeter, two lanes have been closed and there is queueing traffic for three miles due to recovery work after an accident on M5 Southbound after J28 A373 Honiton Road (Cullompton / Service Area).

Travel time is estimated to be 50 minutes.
