Emergency services were called to the scene just before 3am.

This section of the motorway is likely to be closed for sometime as recovery takes place.

Devon and Somerset Fire Service said that one lorry had broken down on the southbound carriageway hardshoulder, it was then hit by a second lorry, which then turned onto its side, blocking all 3 lanes.
