M5 traffic: Stranded drivers rescued as flooding closes route

Emergency crews are rescuing stranded motorists after a section of the M5 was closed amid “significant flooding”.

National Highways said the northbound carriageway is closed between J16 for Aztec West and J14 for Thornbury. The southbound is also shut between J14 for Thornbury and J15 for the Almondsbury Interchange.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service (AFRS) was called at about 01:00 BST to assist police and National Highways with the flash floods.

The route is expected to remain closed for a “number of hours” while crews work to pump water away.
