Motorists faced a frustrating ordeal on the M5 yesterday, as a police incident caused a massive 12-mile traffic jam that lasted for over two hours.
Delays were reported throughout the day, with some commuters stuck in their vehicles for more than two hours.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident involved a police presence on the motorway, with one witness describing the scene as chaotic.
The cause of the incident was not immediately clear, but Avon and Somerset Police were on the scene, working to resolve the situation.
Fortunately, the police were able to bring the incident to a safe resolution, and the M5 and A39 have since been reopened.
However, the disruption has left many commuters frustrated, with some expressing their anger and disappointment on social media.
One commuter, who was traveling with a 10-month-old baby, described the situation as "a lot worse" due to the difficulty of caring for their child in the traffic jam.

Fortunately, the incident did not result in any serious injuries or fatalities, and the police are to be commended for their efforts in resolving the situation quickly and safely.
