Fire this morning 05:30 ish, anyone see this? Was the ARTIC driver ok? Why traffic plod stopped northbound M6 is beyond me! 
EASTERLY WIND TAKING SMOKE AWAY FROM CARRIAGEWAY! 
hope he/ she’s ok! 
M6 north narrows it down, guess it was somewhere between Rugby and Carlisle then ! 
That’s why I didn’t put gate number so I can see if TNUKCSI witnessed it! gate 16 northbound. 
Saw the aftermath at 7 30 ish and again at 1 ish.
Trailer was just a shell, hope all OK
Was junction 16 I think.
Full of chip fat and a resurfacing job to finish it off

The tractor unit burned out after rolling over.
It was mark Dixon driving, he also had a channel 5 camera man with him.
They both got out ok but very shocked. They had to wait for over an hour for one of stobarts ambulance’s to arrive at the scene.
More to follow…

Not sure about that.
This was the actual unit involved.
I’ve seen that wagon before. Ripped the side of an Abbey tanker whilst pulling out of a parking bay at Keele Northbound.
