Commuters that are travelling along the M40 are expected to be in long delays after a part of it closed this morning (May 12).
Shout out to @NationalHways who were excellent dealing with the lorry fire closure on M40 southbound J5 just now. Avoid the area as there is a full closure on s/b whilst Trumpton deal with the incident.

1. We noticed a LGV had set on fire on the M40 J5 South while travelling back up north, we turned back and were first on scene, closing two lanes after making contact with @tvprp, shortly after @NationalHways and @FireOxfordshire⦠pic.twitter.com/02C7wTvxOe

Well that was different. I was first on scene at this Lorry fire on the M40 and put on a two lane closure before @NationalHways arrived. @tvprp were grateful for the assistance. pic.twitter.com/KNhydgyExP

Highways England that the M40 Southbound in Oxfordshire between junction six and junction five is closed due to a heavy goods fire.
It is not known how long the road will be closed.
