Coventry lorry fire sparks disruption on M6

A lorry fire which keeps reigniting due to its highly combustible load is causing 90-minute delays on the M6.

The blaze took hold on the northbound route within Junction 2, Coventry, on Monday afternoon and caused the road to close.

National Highways said the lorry was transporting hay that caught fire, with fire services working to dampen the load.

Drivers are being urged to consider alternative routes.
