Traffic delays caused issues on the M32 following reports of a crash this evening. According to traffic monitor Inrix, traffic was stationary in the northbound direction between J2 at Eastville to J3 at Hambrook.

Google Maps reports very long delays on the motorway, made worse by reports of a broken down vehicle on the M4. According to reports, traffic was held at 5.15pm today (December 6), although it has been released again.

However, Inrix adds there is "very slow traffic" following the earlier incident. Traffic eased just before 7pm.
