A lorry from Cornwall-based pasty firm Ginsters was involved in the M5 crash which killed seven people, the company has confirmed.

Leicestershire-based Samworth Brothers, which owns the Callington pasty firm, said two of its vehicles, a Ginsters and a Samworth lorry, were involved.

The firm declined to comment any further on the condition of the driver after the crash in Somerset.

The 34-vehicle pile-up on Friday night left 51 people injured.

Emergency services from around the South West were involved in the M5 rescue operation.

A stretch of the M5 is expected to stay closed for the rest of the weekend.
