As the weekend getaway kicked off, the M5 motorway experienced significant traffic disruptions after a vehicle veered off the carriageway. The incident occurred on the southbound side, causing severe delays and congestion that extended all the way back to Cribbs Causeway. Commuters can expect prolonged travel times as emergency services work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes where possible until the situation is resolved.
