It didn't look good, passing junction 18 Eastbound this morning, around 7:45, I noticed an unmarked Police car escorting an ambulance back towards Bristol (presumably to Frenchay) at speed, and just under the bridge on the eastbound side, there was a silver Toyota (I think) with pretty serious damage to the driver's door area and facing oncoming traffic - about 300 yards on from that was a 3/5 series black BMW with a completely destroyed front end.

At a guess, it looked (from the damage) that the BMW had maybe rear-ended the other car at serious speed, and spun them into the barrier... the crash scene wasn't being cleared either, they had coned off the entire hard shoulder under the bridges at junction 18 - I've not seen that before (hence assuming the worst).

Not been able to find any news yet. but hopefully not as bad as it looked :(
 
I passed there about that time (a few minutes after I think) and didn't see anything on either side, I must have been daydreaming. :o
