POLICE are warning motorists to slow down after a driver skidded across all four lanes of traffic on the M5 after hitting standing water.

Miraculously, the driver (and everyone else on the road at the time) was unhurt, when the incident happened at J4A on December 14.

A police spokesman said: "Please slow down, the motorway speeds of 50mph are there for a reason."

They added they were dealing with multiple crashes at the same time, throughout the county.
