Video footage captured the frightening moment a Morrisons delivery lorry burst into flames on the M62 on Monday afternoon (April 25).
All traffic was brought to a standstill as fire crews and motorway police rushed to the scene of the blaze on the eastbound carriageway.
The incident caused huge delays during rush hour, with the fire first reported shortly after 4.30pm. The motorway was completely closed off between junctions J11 (Birchwood) to J12 (Eccles), with drivers left stuck for an hour before two lanes reopened, allowing them to slowly pass the fire.
