M5 traffic: Motorway closure in Gloucestershire after serious crash
National Highways said delays are about 20 minutes as emergency services remain on scene and diversions keep traffic moving around the closure.
- On Wednesday, May 6, a fatal two-vehicle collision involving a white Luton van and a Volkswagen Transporter occurred on the M5 northbound between junctions 11 and 9 near Tewkesbury.
- Gloucestershire Constabulary and South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust responded at 12.20pm, forcing emergency services to close the northbound carriageway for 12 hours while crash investigations commenced.
- The driver of the white van, a man in his 30s from Warwickshire, died at the scene; police appeal for witnesses to submit information quoting incident 227 of 6 May.
- National Highways reopened the motorway early Thursday morning after investigators completed their examination, ending the three miles of congestion that disrupted traffic throughout the day.
- Motorists were diverted via the A40 and A417 during the closure, and authorities continue requesting dashcam footage to support the ongoing investigation into the fatal incident.
