In the early hours of Wednesday, a massive lorry fire closed a section of the M6 highway outside of Coventry.
There were reports of an HGV trailer on fire at about 01:04 BST, and the southbound lane between junctions 3 and 2 prompted the dispatch of firefighters.
Pictures taken at the scene showed thick plumes of smoke being emitted from what was left of the vehicle.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said no injuries had been reported.
Two lanes remain closed and National Highways has warned motorists to expect long delays.
