Why vehicles need accident recovery on the M48

From our call-out data on the M48, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Overheating in queueing traffic when the bridge is partially closed
Crosswind incidents on the bridge deck, especially for high-sided vehicles

Accident Recovery at the M48's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M48 where we are called out most often, and where we keep accident recovery resources close at hand:

Severn Bridge deck (between Junctions 1 and 2), extreme crosswinds cause high-sided vehicle incidents; vehicles caught by sudden gusts can be forced into bridge barriers; the exposed bridge deck creates ice in winter before surrounding roads

Junction 1 Aust approach, when the bridge is partially or fully closed, traffic queues here for hours; overheating from stationary vehicles and fuel starvation from unexpected delays are common during closure events

Beachley Viaduct approach (Welsh side), the long approach viaduct across the flood plain is almost as exposed as the bridge itself; crosswind incidents on the viaduct often precede bridge closures
