A police officer's had to jump to safety after almost being hit by a jack-knifing lorry on the side of the M5 between Weston and Clevedon.

PC gavin Warburton had got out on the hard shoulder to assist a driver who'd spun off the carriageway in the wet - when an elderly woman stopped in the inside lane to ask directions.

That then caused the lorry to slam on it's brakes and almost hit PC Warburton - who says he'd like to track down the woman to tell her how dangerous her actions were.
