A lorry fire on the M6 northbound between junctions 4A (for the M42) and 5 (for Castle Bromwich) caused significant disruption, leading to the closure of the carriageway and creating nine-mile traffic queues. Emergency services, including the West Midlands Fire Service, were on site to manage the situation. National Highways reported delays of up to 90 minutes for motorists approaching the area, with congestion extending across the West Midlands. Social media posts highlighted frustration among drivers stuck in long queues during hot weather, with some questioning why more lanes weren’t opened to ease the flow. The fire was eventually extinguished, though reports indicated potential damage to the motorway.
