A HUSBAND and wife from Taunton were killed in a three-car crash on the M5 on Saturday night.

Gilbert and Josephine Brice, aged 66 and 67, were travelling south on the motorway near Bridgwater when their Nissan Micra was involved in collisions, first with a Fiat van, then a Ford Mondeo.

The motorway was closed between Junctions 23 and 24 for over nine hours following the crash.

Police have appealed for witnesses following the incident.
