Surface Water on M5 this morning

Reported via desktop in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 12:48, Wed 11 May 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3518244.

Just starting to overtake a multi-wheel truck we were confronted by a "wall" of water thrown up by wheels which necessitated braking as visibility was totally obscured. Thankfully no incident occurred but this situation is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Please inspect and fix.
