M5 traffic: Motorway reopens after lorry crashes

There is traffic in the area as the southbound carriageway remains shut during rush hour

The M5 has reopened after crashes on both sides of the motorway.

The southbound carriageway was shut between junction 9 for Tewkesbury and junction 11 for Cheltenham after a lorry jackknifed overnight.

The motorway was then shut northbound between junction 10 and junction 9 due to a crash involving two HGVs.

National Highways said both carriageways had reopened but advised motorists to expect delays. Nobody is believed to have been injured.
