There are delays on the M5
There are long delays on the M5 following an earlier crash.
A car and van collided between the slip roads on the northbound carriageway at junction 16.
All lanes are now open again but there are queues of slow moving traffic stretching back beyond junction 18. This was exacerbated by a broken down car although this has also now been cleared.
At 1pm Highways England reported there was five miles of traffic causing delays of 45 minutes.
