Last night, tragedy struck on the M5 in Somerset as a 17-year-old girl lost her life after being hit by a car. The incident occurred at around 11pm and despite emergency services rushing to the scene, the teenager sadly passed away.
As a result of the accident, the motorway has been closed in both directions between junctions 24 and 25.

If you have any information, please call 101 and provide the log number 1170 of 11 November to the call handler. Your help could be vital in understanding the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
