An 18-year-old driver has died following a road traffic collision on the M4 in the early hours of this morning.
A BMW driven by the dead man was travelling westbound when it collided with a crash barrier on the central reservation between Membury Services and Junction 15.
A 19-year-old female passenger was taken to the Great Western Hospital with minor injuries.
A police spokesman said: "Both west and eastbound carriageways were closed while officers carried out their investigations - however eastbound has just been reopened and westbound is expected to be open in the next half an hour.
"Officers were called to the single vehicle collision at approximately 1.30am.
