- and clearer - signs may be needed, to help prevent people travelling | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
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 | :06:47. | :06:55. |
