One man was pronounced dead at the scene and another was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol with life-threatening head injuries.
Two hours later a second crash between two articulated lorries, a car and a van happened on the westbound carriageway in the same area.
One man was pronounced dead at the scene with two more taken to Southmead Hospital.
