Traffic is at a standstill near Weston-super-Mare after a severe crash on the southbound carriage.

An air ambulance landed at the scene on the M5 to help treat the injured. National Highways have warned traffic is delayed due to the air ambulance landing.

A van and a bike collided earlier this afternoon, with multiple emergency vehicles still at the scene.

Diversions have been put in place for the meantime, with drivers told to exit the M5 southbound at J21, and join the A370 westbound towards Weston-super-Mare.

From there, continue towards Burnham-on-Sea and at the roundabout with the A38, join the A38 southbound and then continue to re-join the M5 southbound at J22.
