Lorry caught fire on an M5 sliproad
FIREFIGHTERS were called to a lorry that was on fire on the M42.
The cab caught fire just after the M5 sliproad on to the M42 at 9.49am this morning.
Two crews were called to put out the articulated lorry which was well alight, but the flames were kept to the cab and did not spread to the trailer.
No injuries were reported and no lanes were closed on the motorway.
