MOTORISTS are facing queues of more than four miles on the eastbound stretch of the M4 this morning after a lorry caught fire.
Fire crews from Newbury and Hungerford were called to the motorway, between Junction 14 for Hungerford and Junction 13 for Chieveley, at 7.47am after the lorry caught fire and blocked traffic.
Firefighters spent an hour at the scene in breathing apparatus using two hose reels to put out the blaze, and motorists are being warned to expect delays.
