- and clearer - signs may be needed, to help prevent people travelling

the wrong way on our motorways. A 30-year-old woman was killed at the

:00:20.:00:23.

weekend after driving north on the southbound stretch of the M5 between

:00:23.:00:26.

Weston super Mare and Clevedon. Laura Jones reports.

:00:27.:00:29.

Saturday morning, and the southbound M5 between Clevedon and Weston still

:00:29.:00:32.

busy but traffic was at least moving - having been closed for the

:00:33.:00:40.

previous seven hours. It's not known exactly what happened here, just

:00:40.:00:43.

after midnight on Friday - but a blue Ford Ka ended up taking the

:00:43.:00:46.

wrong exit off this roundabout near Weston and heading north on the

:00:46.:00:53.

Southbound carriageway. It was hit by several other vehicles before

:00:53.:00:57.

coming to a stop. The police have now named the woman driving the car.

:00:57.:01:00.

She was 30-year-old Zoe Aspland, from Yeovil, who was killed in the

:01:00.:01:10.
:01:10.:01:14.

accident. It's not known how or why she came to be travelling the wrong

:01:14.:01:17.

way. Today, Zoe's parents paid tribute to their daughter, calling

:01:17.:01:20.

her a loving mother to her five children and saying that she will be

:01:20.:01:23.

sorely missed by her brother Lee and sisters Alice and Laura. Meanwhile,

:01:23.:01:26.

a leading motoring organisation has said that more should be done to

:01:26.:01:31.

stop accidents like this from happening. Easy the busy junction

:01:31.:01:39.

during daytime, but obviously night-time driving, all of these are

:01:39.:01:46.

factors that can add to this safety risk. Sometimes there could be more

:01:46.:01:51.

signs just to get the message across. An investigation is now

:01:51.:01:54.

underway to try and find out more about what happened and police are

:01:54.:01:57.

asking anyone who might have seen anything, to get in touch.

:01:57.:02:00.

Four men have appeared in court charged over disturbances at a pub

:02:00.:02:03.

in Bristol. The trouble started in St George's Hall in Redfield

:02:03.:02:06.

following a march from Kingswood organised to raise money for a

:02:06.:02:10.

soldiers' charity. Two men - aged 39 and 40 - were fined up to �500 by

:02:10.:02:13.

magistrates for public order offences. A third aged 23 is

:02:13.:02:15.

awaiting sentence, and a fourth has pleaded not guilty to any

:02:15.:02:23.

involvement. Eight further people charged, are to appear in court at a

:02:23.:02:26.

later date. One of Swindon's main leisure

:02:26.:02:28.

centres has installed temporary showers - after Legionella was

:02:28.:02:33.

discovered. Routine testing of water at the Link Centre found higher than

:02:33.:02:36.

normal levels of the bacteria. It can lead to the potentially deadly

:02:36.:02:42.

Legionnaires Disease. The centre is run by Swindon Borough Council - it

:02:42.:02:45.

says no-one who has used its facilities has had their health put

:02:45.:02:50.

at risk. An event's being held today to raise

:02:50.:02:53.

money for the air ambulance service which helped save the life of a

:02:53.:02:58.

toddler. Sam Cooper-Stevens, then six months old, was in a buggy when

:02:58.:03:03.

it was blown into the water at Watchet Harbour in January. His life

:03:03.:03:08.

was saved by passers-by and the Devon Air Ambulance.

:03:08.:03:10.

Taking action to say thank you - Sam's Cooper-Stevens' parents Kate

:03:10.:03:14.

and Martyn manned one of the stalls at a ten hour fund-raising marathon

:03:14.:03:21.

for two local air ambulance charities. Sam was just six months

:03:21.:03:25.

old when his buggy was swept by a gust of wind into Watchet Harbour in

:03:25.:03:34.

January. He was pulled to safety by the dock master, and given CPR by a

:03:34.:03:37.

passer-by - Tanya, who was also at today's event, providing some of the

:03:37.:03:47.
:03:47.:03:48.

entertainment. He has been absolutely fine, no lasting damage

:03:48.:03:58.
:03:58.:04:00.

whatsoever. He is brilliant. What is today all about? Just raising

:04:00.:04:07.

awareness and raising funds towards the air ambulance for helping saving

:04:07.:04:13.

his life and many more. It is just amazing what they do. Local

:04:13.:04:20.

musicians have been performing for free all day. One of them was Tanya

:04:20.:04:27.

who helped baby Sam from the water and gave them CPR until emergency

:04:27.:04:37.
:04:37.:04:38.

services arrived. It was very lucky that we were all there to help out.

:04:38.:04:44.

It was a great outcome and this is a great day to celebrate it all.

:04:44.:04:48.

Punch proved a big hit with the children, which was more than could

:04:48.:04:57.

be said for the weather. The fund carries on until midnight.

:04:57.:04:59.

Thousands of people turned out for the traditional cheese-rolling race

:04:59.:05:02.

on Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire today. The event went ahead, despite

:05:02.:05:05.

warnings from the police that organisers could be liable for legal

:05:05.:05:08.

action in the event of any injuries. A fake double Gloucester cheese was

:05:08.:05:12.

used for the first time in the event's 200 year history as a safety

:05:12.:05:16.

precaution. The winner of the men's race was an American, who'd crossed

:05:16.:05:26.
:05:26.:05:39.

the Atlantic specially! sunshine on Saturday and Sunday,

:05:39.:05:46.

increasing clouds today. Heavy rain at times tonight. This weather front

:05:46.:05:52.

moving in from the Atlantic bringing rain for much of the region, which

:05:52.:05:59.

could be heavy at times. Tonight, the band of rain gradually heads its

:05:59.:06:08.

way eastwards. Eastern areas holding on to dry conditions initially

:06:08.:06:15.

before the rain arrives. Temperatures down to about seven

:06:15.:06:22.

degrees tonight. Rain heavy at times tomorrow, limited brightness.

:06:22.:06:30.

Sunshine will be hard to find tomorrow. 11 Celsius because of the

:06:31.:06:36.

cloud and rain. Two days temperatures reached 15 degrees

:06:36.:06:41.

Celsius. It will be a wet datamodel, lasting for much of the

:06:41.:06:47.

day. By Wednesday and Thursday, it will be a mixture of sunshine and
