Two adults in their 40s and a teenager have died following a single-vehicle collision on the M5 in south Gloucestershire.
Police said a child suffered serious injuries and has been taken to hospital after the white BMW car left the northbound carriageway at about 9pm on Friday.
The crash took place between junction 14 and the Michaelwood services.
The M5 remains closed in both directions between junctions 13 and 14 today.
Inspector Mark Vicary, of Avon and Somerset Police’s roads policing unit, said: “Our thoughts first and foremost are with the child in hospital and loved ones who have received the most awful news overnight.
“A specially-trained officer will provide them with support at this difficult time.”
Inspector Vicary continued: “Emergency services have worked throughout the night at what has proved to be a very complex scene. They have worked diligently and professionally to try to save life in the most tragic of circumstances.”
