Two adults and teenager die in car crash on M5 in south Gloucestershire
Two adults and a teenager have died in a car crash on the M5 in south Gloucestershire while a second child suffered serious injuries.
A white BMW was involved in a single-vehicle collision at around 9pm on Friday when it left the northbound carriageway between junction 14 and the Michaelwood services, Avon and Somerset Police said.
The M5 is shut both ways between J14 (Falfield) and J13 (Stroud) following a fatal collision last night in which three people have died.
We estimate the M5 will need to remain shut at least for the next few hours.
