A TRACTOR has fallen off the back of a lorry, just after junction 13 of the M5, causing long delays.

Two lanes remain closed on the M5 northbound between junction 13 for Stroud and junction 12 for Quedgeley and Hardwicke.

One motorist who saw the incident later tweeted: "Tractor just fell off the back of a trailer in the middle of the M5.

"Fuel leaking everywhere. Honestly have no idea how it missed cars."

Police were called at 4.35pm.

The entry slip road at junction 13 was closed but has now re-opened.
