M5 delays after crash involving van and motorbike

Part of the M5 will remain closed overnight following a serious crash involving a motorbike and a van.

The crash happened at about 13:37 BST on the southbound carriageway between Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea.

Emergency services were called to the scene and the motorway was closed in both directions. The northbound carriageway has re-opened, but southbound between junctions 21 and 22 will remain closed overnight for surface repairs, National Highways said.

Avon and Somerset Police has asked for anyone with information or dashcam footage of the incident to contact the force.
