M5 crash: First picture of woman motorist who died after driving NAKED the wrong way down motorway
The woman, aged in her late 20s or early 30s, was killed after her Ford Ka collided with four vehicles on the M5 in Somerset
A woman has been killed in a crash as she drove the wrong way along a motorway naked, police said last night.
Mum-of-five Zoe Aspland was thrown from her blue Ford Ka when it smashed into two other vehicles in the early hours of Saturday. Two more cars then ploughed into the wreckage.
A member of the emergency services said: “She was naked. She was thrown out of the car by the impact.
“Police are trying to find out why she was in that state and what led her to drive the wrong way on the motorway.”
Zoe’s parents, Stephen and Karen Aspland, last night paid tribute to their daughter, who was killed on a stretch of the M5 near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
They said in a statement: “We would like to confirm that our daughter Zoe Rhiannon Aspland, of Yeovil, Somerset, tragically died in a road collision on the M5. Zoe was a loving mother to her five children and will be sorely missed by her brother Lee and sisters Alice and Laura. As we grieve for the loss of Zoe, we would ask any witnesses to the incident to come forward.”
The road where Zoe died is a key tourist route through the West Country.
It was closed until 7.30am on Saturday while the crash was dealt with. Avon and Somerse
