THE M5 is running smoothly again after two people were treated for minor injuries following a crash near Bridgwater earlier.

Police were called to the scene, just past junction 24 for Bridgwater South, at 1.46pm.

Paramedics treated a woman who was driving a BMW and a man who was driving a Volvo.

Their injuries were not described as life threatening.

Lane three of the motorway was briefly closed but is re-opened a short time later.
