A DRIVER heading back to Bradford yesterday afternoon captured dramatic pictures of a Carling lorry on fire on the M62.

All traffic was stopped on the M62 westbound just after 1pm between junction 22 for Rishworth Moor and junction 21 for Milnrow after a lorry caught fire.

"We saw the smoke from about a mile away," said the driver. "The cabin was in full blaze and it was quite a big fire."

There were long queues and all lanes were blocked as emergency crews dealt with the fire.
