A LORRY was destroyed by fire on the M5 through Somerset in the early hours of this morning (September 4).
Firefighters from Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater were sent to the scene, on the northbound carriageway between junctions 22 and 23, at just before 4am, as well as a water carrier from Bridgwater.
“When crews arrived the lorry was well alight,” a Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.
“Crews used two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet to extinguish the fire and also water was supplied from the water carrier.
“The lorry was 100% damaged by fire and the cause was accidental.”
