Burnt tubes were seen near the HGV following the blaze, which engulfed the lorry near junction 25 at 7am.

A slip road was closed as a result of the fire.

Highways England said the driver – who was unhurt – managed to save the tractor unit before escaping.

Firefighters tackled the blaze and a clean-up operation was started to remove the tubes.

The road reopened at 2.20pm.
