One of the victims of the fatal collision on the M4 earlier this week has been named as police arrest a fourth person.

Saado Hussein, 58, and another woman died at the scene of a two-car collision on the eastbound carriageway on Monday.

A 32-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in police custody.

Saado Hussein's family said: "We are incredibly devastated and traumatised."

In a statement they added: "We are grateful for the support of our family and friends, including the wider Bristol community at this difficult time."

Emergency services were called at around 00:05 BST on Monday. Both vehicles had left the motorway.

Three other occupants of the same vehicle Saado Hussein and the other woman had been in attended hospital, two of whom have been discharged to recover at home.

One person remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Three men, one in their 20s and two in their 30s, travelling in the other car were arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and have been bailed.

Officers would like to speak to anyone travelling along the east or westbound carriageway who may have seen the collision involving a grey Peugeot and a blue Volkswagen, or have dashcam footage, of the incident or the moments leading up to it.

They are especially keen to speak to anyone driving near junction 22 between 23:55 and 00:10 BST.
