A man has died following a crash on the M32 in Bristol. Emergency services rushed to the scene of the crash, at the M32 junction 1 exit slip road, where a car left the northbound carriageway.
Avon and Somerset Police said officers were called at about 10.15am to a single-vehicle collision. A grey Citroen C4 left the northbound carriageway, a spokesperson for the force said.
One of the car occupants, a man in his 30s, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed and are being supported by a family liaison officer. A second man, also in his 30s, sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital.
He was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death while over the prescribed limit of alcohol. He has since been discharged from hospital and remains in police custody.
