Firefighters have to treat lithium batteries in a very different way. I feel they did right closing the M1 despite it causing chaos. Lives matter.

From the footage I saw, it looked like the fire started in the trailers rear wheel.

Batteries probably overheated

We’ve been stuck for six hours. The fire was on hard shoulder. Surely police could open one lane to help get people home asap.
