Two men have died and a third has been seriously injured in a multiple car collision on the M5 motorway near Tewkesbury.
Four cars and a lorry were involved two related collisions, which occurred between J8 and J9 southbound at around 01:00 BST.
A Ford Mondeo and MG Rover collided south of the M50 junction, an HGV stopped at the accident site and was involved in a collision with a black Mazda and silver Mercedes.
Police closed the southbound motorway between the two junctions for 10 hours, but the road has since been reopened.
