Motorists stuck on the M5 in four mile long queues have abandoned their cars - to play a game of football on the carriageway.

A lorry carrying potentially hazardous chemicals caught fire, shutting the Somerset section between junction 22, at Burnham-on-Sea, and junction 23, from 9.30am.

Fed up drivers - who are still stuck - got out their cars for a kick at about at around 12.30pm, while they waited for the road to reopen.



Kelly Jakeman, 29, an admin assistant, from Stourbridge, Birmingham, has been stuck since 9.30am.

She said: "There were loads of different groups playing football, and it was actually quite nice to see."

"There were a few mini games going across two miles of road."
