Accident Recovery at the M49's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M49 where we are called out most often, and where we keep accident recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 (M4 Junction 22 interchange), the merge with M4 traffic coming off the Second Severn Crossing combines with local industrial traffic; vehicles arriving from Wales in bad weather often have cooling systems stressed from bridge crosswind exposure

Junction 2 (M5 Junction 18A / Avonmouth), heavy industrial traffic from Avonmouth Docks merges onto the M49; HGV breakdowns from vehicles carrying heavy loads to and from the port are a daily feature

Central section (Severn Estuary exposure), sea fog from the Bristol Channel can appear with zero warning, reducing visibility from clear to near-zero; the flat marshland offers no wind protection; crosswind incidents peak during winter storms
