TWO people have been left with serious injuries and 14 with minor injuries after a multiple vehicle crash on the M5 near Michaelwood Services this afternoon.

Both carriageways were closed for a brief period to allow air ambulance helicopters to land but the northbound carriageway has since re-opened.

The police have tweeted that seven vehicles were involved - including two lorries.

Southbound traffic was being diverted through the services but was queuing back to Dursley.
