(about 4 hours later) | |
Motorists faced hours of delays after a lorry carrying chocolate bars was engulfed by flames on the A2 at Bluewater, Kent. | |
At one point, three of the four London-bound lanes were closed after the lorry and much of its cargo was destroyed. | |
The lorry was carrying 25 tonnes of Lion bars, a Nestle spokeswoman said. | |
A crash between the junctions for Gravesend West and Gravesend Central also added to the congestion throughout the morning. | |
