Motorway traffic affected by smoke from nearby fire

People driving on the motorway in rush hour were met with large plumes of smoke earlier from a fire near a campsite.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service were tackling a pile of rubbish that caught fire just off King Weston Lane in Avonmouth, Bristol.

National Highways placed slow signs along the M5 in the area as the smoke travelled across the carriageway.

A spokesperson for the fire service said there were no reports of any injuries and the fire had now been extinguished.
