@RMH_C gridlock within the given area. The responsibility to manage this traffic lays with the police.
In terms of the concern for the wellbeing of your toddler, I do really apologise but we would have to advise calling emergency services for further advice.

The #M5 in #Somerset is closed southbound between J22 #Edithmead and J23 #Puriton due to a traffic collision.
All emergency services are on scene dealing.
There are currently no delays against expected travel times.
@HighwaysSWEST@lock_ange My husband has been stuck since 0930, going south there was no signage to say the M5 was closed. Highways have really messed up the handling of this situation.
@lock_ange Hello and thank you for your response. We are sorry to hear that your husband has been affected by this incident.
Please be aware that current delays are at approx. 5 hours and a further 1 hour minimum on the diversion.
@HighwaysSWEST What a pack of lies, people have been stuck in trying to get off at jct 22 since 0930!!!
Why are you happy to leave people sat there so long??
Delays are now at 5 hours on the approach to the #M5 south between J22 #Edithmead and J23 #Puriton
Every effort is being made to clear the scene and re-open the motorway as soon as possible
Further delays in excess of 1hr on the diversion

@HighwaysSWEST Where do you get 3 hours from. Hundreds of drivers have been stuck on M5 for 7 hours now!!!!!
When are you going to free them??
People are going to become sick if left any longer!!

@HighwaysSWEST Is there any chance, anytime soon, you’re going to get this sorted and get traffic moving again? One accident should not render this much chaos. And stop lying about the congestion time!! People are telling you they’ve been stuck 4-6 hours and you continue to lie!!

@CarolineElliker Hello, I appreciate your concerns. There is a queue on the exit slip and along the diversion route. It is moving, but very slowly. ~Jamie
@HighwaysSWEST Well you should check again as they have not moved at all. So cars are not able to leave the motorway at jct 22. It’s not good enough, there is no attempt to help all the drivers stuck.
