Nobody was injured but the early morning fire blocked the road and led to long delays. One remain remains closed while the vehicle is removed.

One lane of the A1 (M) northbound between junctions 44 and 45 remains closed following a serious lorry fire this morning.

The lorry, which was carrying milk, caught fire shortly after 3am this morning, causing rush hour delays of 40 minutes.

Firefighters from Tadcaster were called to the scene near Boston Spa, where the milk cartons had spilled on the highway.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident summary stated:

"The lorry was engulfed in flames on their arrival and was extinguished by fire crews using at least four hose reels and four breathing apparatus.
"No persons reported injured and cause for the fire not known at this time but believed to be vehicle related."


The road reopened at about 7am but one lane remains closed and delays are still occurring, although the situation is improving.

Northbound traffic from before the M1 interchange is affected.
