Lorry Fires Close Major Highways in UK and US, Causing Significant Disruptions
Several major roads experienced closures due to lorry fires carrying various cargoes. In Cambridgeshire, the westbound A14 was closed between Brampton Hut and Thrapston after a lorry carrying hay bales caught fire, with emergency services stating the road would remain closed for some time and advising motorists to seek alternative routes. Similarly, in Whitley County, Kentucky, a commercial vehicle fire on I-75 North caused lane closures and prompted officials to recommend detours. Additionally, in County Clare, Ireland, the southbound carriageway of the M18 motorway was temporarily closed after the cab of an articulated lorry caught fire, but the driver escaped safely and firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control, reopening the route after a few hours. Authorities in all incidents managed traffic and firefighting efforts to minimize disruption and ensure safety. These events highlight ongoing challenges in managing emergency responses to vehicle fires on major transport routes.
