A crash between a lorry and two cars on the M4 in Wiltshire has sparked delays on the motorway.

The collision happened on the M4 eastbound between Junction 15 near Swindon and Junction 14 near Hungerford.

Emergency services were called to the motorway at just before 7.45am to the scene of the crash.

A woman was cut from one of the cars and taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening, Wiltshire Police have confirmed.

Gloucester M5

A police incident earlier this morning resulted in queueing traffic on the M5 near Gloucester.

Emergency services were at the scene, as delays were building in directions between Junction 12 near Quedgeley and Junction 11A near Cirencester.

At 6.20am traffic monitoring service Inrix reported that all traffic was being temporarily held.

Motorists reported at around 6.45am traffic remains "at a standstill" near Gloucester services, but queues are now beginning to ease.

A police spokesperson confirmed that the road closures were in place for an hour due to welfare concerns.
