M1 on Fire: Traffic Havoc in the East Midlands!

A lorry fire on the M1 southbound in Derbyshire caused major delays, forcing traffic to a standstill between junctions 29 and 28 this morning. As emergency services extinguished the blaze by 6.45am, traffic began to flow in two of the four lanes, relieving congestion. However, recovery operations for the burnt-out vehicle continue, with only minor delays now reported. Travelers should still plan for extra travel time until normal conditions return by 11.45am. Stay sharp, drivers; the government won’t apologize for making things inconvenient!
