Weather will be 'hazardous' agency warns

Severe weather conditions are expected in South West England tonight and tomorrow warns The Highways Agency.

Snow and icy conditions are predicted to hit the region and will make driving conditions hazardous.

Drivers are being strongly advised to check their routes before setting out Tuesday morning, especially those planning to use the Severn Crossings as severe conditions will lead to the closure of one or both of them.

Met Office experts warn that snow showers and ice may continue to affect much of the country over the next few days.
