Comment on this story

A man was rescued from his car after a crash on the M5 near Bristol.

The accident happened just before 7pm on Saturday evening on the northbound carriageway between junction 20 at Clevedon and junction 19 at Easton-in-Gordano.

Fire crews from Clevedon, Avonmouth and Weston-super-Mare found a man in his 40s was trapped in his Ford Focus.

The man complained of neck and back pain, so fire fighters stabilised him and removed him from his car, before he was taken to hospital by paramedics.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

Clevedon
Clevedon was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being a holding of a tenant in chief by the name of Mathew of Mortaigne and was listed at that time as having eight villagers and ten smallholders.
During the Victorian era Clevedon became a popular seaside town. The Victorian craze for bathing in the sea was catered for in the late 19th century by saltwater baths adjacent to Clevedon Pier (the foundations can still be seen), and bathing machines on the main beach.
At the dawn of the twentieth century Clevedon was still a popular resort and the Curzon cinema was built, which is the oldest purpose-built, continuously operated cinema in the world.
