The M4 is closed in both directions near Bristol after a body was found on the carriageway.

Police were called to reports of something in the road between junction 20 (Almondsbury interchange) and junction 22 (Awkley) on Saturday at 18:40 GMT.

Avon and Somerset Police said human remains had been found and they were investigating how they had come to be on the motorway.

The M4 is likely to remain closed until the early hours of Sunday. The M48 is also closed between junction 1 and the M4.

Officers are trying to identify the person and notify their next of kin.

National Highways said diversions were in place.
