A man has died and another man arrested after a crash on the M32.

Emergency services were called to the single-vehicle collision, at the junction 1 exit slip road, at about 10:15 BST on Sunday where a car left the northbound carriageway.

One of the occupants of the grey Citroen C4, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A second man, also in his 30s, was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving while over the prescribed limit of alcohol.

Avon and Somerset Police have appealed for any witnesses, or drivers with dashcam, to get in contact.

A spokesperson for the force said the man arrested sustained minor injuries in the incident and was taken into custody after being discharged from hospital.
