Part of M5 closed
Part of the M5 out of Devon has been closed after a man died in a collision with a lorry.
Police were called at 5.30am today (Wednesday September 6) to the M5 near Tiverton following reports of a collision involving a HGV and the pedestrian.
He was confirmed dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
The M5 southbound carriageway has been reopened but the northbound carriageway will remain closed into the afternoon.
The incident has caused big traffic tailkbacks in and around the M5 in that area.
Highways England have put diversions in place and traffic stuck within the closures will be assisted to move when possible.
