Overview
- The southbound carriageway between Bridgwater (J24) and Taunton (J25) remains closed Sunday after an overnight crash.
- Avon and Somerset Police said the collision involved a blue BMW and a woman was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
- National Highways released trapped drivers, reopened the northbound side, and set a signed diversion via the A38 and A358.
- Police crash-scene investigations are ongoing at the site and officials expect the southbound lanes to stay shut for several hours.
- The closure on this key motorway is likely to push drivers onto local roads, adding time to morning trips across Somerset.
