M5 shut as 'several people' die in 27-vehicle crash

[Mattio]

Crazy stuff, wonder what caused it, it does seem like it was due to the bad weather to some degree but what else? My thoughts with all those involved, hope no-one on here involved or knows anyone who was...

Live near Taunton, crash I hear was due to fog, or smoke from the fire-works at Bridgwater rugby club.. Myself or friends will know someone killed, very sad indeed.

Sounds horrific

I am a former reporter for the Somerset County Gazette/Bridgwater Mercury and have used that motorway hundreds of times. I am utterly shocked and my thoughts are with all those involved and affected by this horrific tragedy. The people of Somerset are good people and will have been rocked by this.
