The A38 was temporarily blocked earlier today following a fire involving a lorry. The incident occurred just before the usual morning rush hour, leading to significant traffic delays as emergency services attended the scene.
Firefighters quickly responded to extinguish the blaze, and the road was closed to ensure safety while the vehicle was dealt with. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes during the closure.
Authorities have not reported any injuries and are investigating the cause of the fire. The road has since reopened, but drivers are reminded to be cautious when travelling in the area due to residual congestion.
