FIREFIGHTERS returning from an incident happened upon a two-vehicle crash.

The crew stopped at the scene of the collision on the A358 in Taunton shortly after 4pm today (Friday).

A Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "No persons were trapped and we were therefore only required to make the vehicles and scene safe."

The crews were on their way back from a road traffic collision involving a lorry and a car that resulted in the temporary closure of the M5 northbound between Junctions 25 and 24.
