Drivers are facing delays on the M5 following a closure due to an overturned lorry.

All three lanes were closed on the northbound carriageway at the Huntworth Bridge at Bridgwater in Somerset, just after junction 24.

The vehicle has now been recovered and all lanes have reopened. Avon and Somerset Police said no injuries had been reported.

National Highways said drivers were still facing delays, with nine miles (14.5km) of traffic on the approach. Congestion remains on surrounding roads.
