There are significant delays on the M4 this morning in Berkshire (21 May) following a lorry fire.

All lanes were closed at one point eastbound between Junction 15 for Swindon and Junction 14 for Hungerford.

National Highways say two out of three lanes remain closed and a complex recovery operation will be ongoing throughout the morning.

There are significant delays as a result with reports of around seven miles of congestion. A broke down lorry on the same stretch of motorway is also causing traffic to build.
