The M5 in Somerset has reopened after a lorry fire forced the closure of all lanes, although drivers continue to face severe delays.

The incident affected traffic on the motorway in Somerset and led to a full closure while the fire was dealt with. The source material does not provide details about when the closure began, the exact location of the incident or whether anyone was injured.
