There are traffic delays on the M4 this morning, as firefighters tackle vehicle fire near Swindon.

The incident is westbound between junctions 16 (Swindon) and 17 (Chippenham).

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene at around 10.45am, following numerous reports of a car far. On arrival, they found a vehicle engulfed in flames.

A spokesperson said: “Crews extinguished the fire using two breathing apparatus and two hose reel jets. The hard shoulder, lane 1 and lane 2 are currently closed causing slow moving traffic.”
