A MAJOR crash on the M5 southbound has caused chaos this morning, with 3 miles of traffic and delays of up to 30 minutes.
The incident, which occurred between junctions 19 (Gordano) and 20 (Clevedon), has resulted in the closure of lanes 1 and 2, leaving only two lanes open to traffic.
As a result, drivers are facing a lengthy wait with delays of up to 30 minutes on their usual journey times.
The congestion stretches for around 3 miles, with traffic crawling along the motorway as emergency services work to clear the scene.
Commuters are advised to avoid the area if possible or find alternative routes, as the closure is causing significant hold-ups.
Traffic is expected to remain slow throughout the morning while authorities work to resolve the situation.
