As it says on the tin, Vehicle fire, diversion is a nightmare as you can imagine, avoid if possible
They reckon that it will be open at 17:15… yeah right
Report of some kind of explosives on board, hence fire fighting from distance, and nobody allowed past scene.

Yeah, the black smoke looked really bad, not too sure how a poxy crash barrier will protect the firefighters from explosives though.

They appeared to bring it under control, then the fire engines went, then they must have been called back…
The S/B is open now but they say the N/B will be closed until the morning due to resurfacing
Heard on the radio that is was a chemical load and that there were “Rivers of Fire” going down the motorway
Bet there was no workmen about to scare lol

Anyone know what happened at 29a s/b,just as the traffic started flowing.
Was a load of batteries that went up. There was another accident southbound at 29a too. Highways agency says it will reopen at 6am. I got stuck in the aftermarth on A38 A61 A617 coming back to hellaby.Only just made it back to yard lol.
The whole Mansfield area was gridlocked due to it ! Took me best part 3 hours to get from Steetley ( Worksop ) to Swadlincote I managed to get back on at junction 29 once they had reopened southbound past the remnance on northbound side well what was left ! Of it smouldering still well .
What about the s/b accident?
Left hovis 17.30 ,should of been back up at about 18.30 ,got back 20.00 ,anneseley was stop start ,as was 617 ,614 was really slow but there was a van broke down just before bridge at ollerton so he may of been the problem on 614 rather than traffic trying to divert away from m1 .
Went well over my driving time as didn’t think it would be that bad
Anyone hear about the two artics towed into J29 truckstop yesterday?. A driver of ours was talking to them and apparently one (kuene & nagel) was struck by lightning and blew a half prop out and the other (preston of potto) was struck also and fried the electrics!!
I saw em both being towed in by the roadworks recovery BDV? As I passed the truckstop that afternoon from IKO at clay cross
