A fire officer heading for a reported car crash on the M5 found a man collapsed at the side of the road.
Emergency services were first called out following reports a car had gone into the back of a lorry between Junctions 28 Cullumpton and 29 Sowton.
It was believed that persons were trapped within the car.
However, while en route a fire service officer, who had also been mobilised, came across it first and confirmed the location was in fact between Junctions 27 & 28.
No persons were reported to be trapped or injured but the male driver of the car had collapsed at the side of the road.
When fire crews arrived they made the vehicles safe and left the incident in the hands of Police and the driver in the care of Ambulance paramedics.
