Camper van blaze causes delays for M5 motorists

Motorists travelling along the M5 past Burnham-On-Sea faced delays on Saturday evening (August 4th) after a camper van fire closed two lanes of the motorway.

Three fire crews were called at 6.19pm to the southbound carriageway between junctions 23 for Highbridge and 24 for Bridgwater.

The vehicle was successfully extinguished using one foam jet and two sets of breathing apparatus, a fire spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com. The cause was accidental.
