Motorists are being advised to expect delays on the M4 following a vehicle fire between Swindon and Reading. Emergency services were called to the scene after a van caught fire on the motorway.
As a result of the incident, one lane has been closed to allow fire crews to manage the blaze and ensure the safety of other road users. Drivers in the area are urged to approach the scene with caution and check for updates before beginning their journeys, as the closure is causing tailbacks along the busy route.
It is currently unclear how long the lane restriction will remain in place, but traffic authorities are working to clear the wreckage and reopen the affected section of the motorway as quickly as possible. Updates will follow as the situation develops.
