At around 3.30am a two car collision on the M4 resulted in the death of 5 people.

This crash took place within 300ft of my house and the motorway is still shut.

The local 'news' is that the police were pursuing a vehicle on the wrong side of the motorway when it collided head on with another vehicle.

This is not confirmed but the IPC have been called in:

I was just looking at the image on the bbc site wondering how the cars got so crumpled and why they were still together.

Five dead in 'wrong way' M4 crash

Five people were killed after a car pursued by police drove the wrong way down a motorway and crashed into another vehicle.

"Early indications are that the vehicle being pursued took a turn on to the motorway in the wrong direction. The police vehicle did not follow it.
