Vehicle fire leads to long queues on motorway

A motorway has reopened after being blocked due to a vehicle fire.

The M4 in Wiltshire was shut between junction 17 (for Cirencester) and junction 18 (for Bath) for nearly four hours earlier, with heavy traffic in the area.

The fire was in the westbound lane, but smoke billowing across the carriageway blocked both directions of the motorway.

Wiltshire Police said no injuries had been reported and asked drivers to avoid the area.
