Drivers on the M5 near Bristol were heavily delayed

after the Avonmouth Bridge and the M49 into Wales were closed

The closures effectively cut off motorway access

The Somerset teenager whose family were forced to pay for a potentially

life-saving bone marrow transplant say he's hoping to go

Daryl Allinson celebrated his 14th birthday on Christmas Eve,

one his parents feared he might not see.

Clinton Rogers went to see him at his home in Frome.

Merry Christmas. Not that long ago, they wondered if he would even be

here for Christmas 2016. Now the family has new hope,

new optimism for the future. Daryl has been through much

in his young life but, five months after his second bone

marrow transplant, he says Amazing actually. You have put on

weight since I last saw you. Are you feeling better? Yes, I feel so much

better. More energy, wanting to do more stuff. It is great to have this

energy. Words can't explain how I feel. I am just over the moon, I am

so please, I am so proud of him. I just can't thank everybody enough

for their generosity. It was the public's generosity

in raising close to ?100,000 on a crowd funding website that

allowed Daryl to have a second bone marrow transplant

at Bristol Children's Hospital. The first transplant failed

and his rare leukaemia returned. At that point, NHS England turned

down the funding for a second operation based largely

on its chances of success. At the time they said these

were difficult decisions to make. No-one knows what the future holds,

but the boy who celebrated his 14th birthday on Christmas Eve says that

if he continues to recover well he hopes to start back

at school in the spring, and then return to his

true love, football. Gloucester ran out in front of

Gloucester 24. Now, a round-up of

the Boxing Day goals. Bristol City lost their fourth

straight match in the Championship, despite first half goals

from Tammy Abraham and Aden Flint. Bristol Rovers moved back

into the top ten in League One, with a comprehensive 4-1 win

at home to Coventry. Winger Billy Bodin scored his first

ever senior hat-trick, with all his goals coming

in the second half, after Peter Hartley had opened

the scoring for Rovers. Swindon are three points off

the League One relegation places, Yeovil Town kept their 19th clean

sheet of the calendar year, in their goalless draw at home

to Exeter in League Two. Cheltenham remain second from bottom

in League Two after their 2-1 defeat at home by Barnet

despite Danny Wright's sixth Onto the weather, and it's certainly

been a beautiful but chilly day. Hello, good evening. It is a chilly

end to a bright day, and both temperatures we will take a tumble

through the coming hours. A cold night with clear spells initially,

and we will see another hard frost in many parts. By midnight we are

seeing some patchy mist and fog developing, freezing fog in some

spots, and we do have a yellow weather warning in place from the

Met Office for those foggy conditions, valid from midnight

tonight, right through until midday tomorrow, giving some tricky

travelling conditions. A great start for many tomorrow morning, cloudy

spells than we are used to, and some of that fog could linger through the

morning. Some brighter dimmers as well, and amateurs could read seven

or eight -- temperatures. In the cloud and fog those temperatures

will struggle. On Thursday, high pressure stays in charge, so staying

dry and settled, though more in the way of cloud as we go through the

course of Thursday and towards the tail end of the week. So, a weather

warning for stubborn fog through to midday tomorrow, then cloudier and

cold into the New Year. I'll be back with a final look

at the news in the West after the special George Michael

concert tonight.
