Child and two adults killed in M5 crash as road remains closed
A teenager and two adults have been killed in a crash on the M5 as another child fights for their life in hospital.
Avon and Somerset Police said the teenager and two adults died following the single-vehicle collision involving a BMW car in south Gloucestershire on Friday evening.
The second child was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after suffering serious injuries in the incident.
The motorway remained closed in both directions between junctions 14 and 13 on Saturday morning.
A police statement said: 'A white BMW car left the northbound carriageway at approximately 9pm last night (Friday May 30) between junction 14 (Falfield) and the Michaelwood services. As a result, the M5 remains closed in both directions between junctions 14 and 13 (Stroud).
'We're sad to report two adults in their 40s and one teenage child who were travelling in the vehicle have died from their injuries.
'A second child sustained serious injuries and they have been taken to hospital where they remain in a critical condition.'

The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
All right, operatives: Time for your next mission. More from TVLine Yvonne Strahovski Makes Us Wonder: Did The Handmaid's Tale Finale Hint at a Pairing That Was There All Along? Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene The Last of Us Season 3: Is Pedro Pascal Gone for Good? Here's What the EPs Say The Agency: Central Intelligence — formerly known as The Agency — is currently in production on Season 2. The Paramount+ series stars Michael Fassbender as Martian, a Central Intelligence Agency agent abruptly pulled out of an extended assignment in Ethiopia. When he's returned to the CIA's London Station, he struggles with his ongoing love for an Ethiopian woman named Sami (played by Jodie Turner-Smith), who didn't know he was a spy… but who has intrigue aplenty of her own. The series is inspired by France's The Bureau. Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, who wrote and executive-produced Season 1, will be back for the sophomore run. We'll add any and all pertinent information to this post as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, it's your duty to scan the dossier below and get up to speed on the highly addictive spy thriller. Per Paramount+, the Season 2 cast includes Michael Fassbender (who plays Martian), Jeffrey Wright (Henry), Jodie Turner-Smith (Sami), Katherine Waterston (Naomi), Harriest Sansom Harris (Dr. Blake), John Magaro (Owen), Saura Lightfoot-Leon (Danny), Andrew Brooke (Grandpa), India Fowler (Poppy), Reza Brojerdi (Reza), Alex Reznik (Coyote) and Richard Gere (Bosko). As befits its title, there's little intel out now about The Agency: Central Intelligence's second season. But we'll be sure to update this post as soon as our informants hear anything. While Paramount+ hasn't yet released an official Season 2 synopsis, safe to say: Martian will have a lot on his hands when the new season gets underway, thanks to his agreeing to be a double agent for the United Kingdom's MI6. (What else could he do?! He did it to save Sami!) The move surely will sour Martian's relationship with Henry, as Wright noted in an interview with our sister site The Hollywood Reporter. 'Over the course of the first season, there's this relationship, this bond between the two of them that's been established. There's a mutual respect and there's this reciprocal need and trust, but you begin to see a bit of doubt creep in from Henry's perspective,' he said. 'As we go on, we'll begin to explore whether that crack widens and what is revealed inside should be fun.' As of now, there is no official release date for The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2. We'll update this post as soon as we have scheduling information. Production on the show's sophomore run got underway in London in May 2025. No word yet on how many episodes Season 2 will have; we'll update this post when we know. For context: Season 1 of the drama consisted of 10 hour-long episodes. There's no trailer yet for The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2. But we'll add the video to this post as soon as it becomes available. All episodes of The Agency: Central Intelligence are now streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
