A fiery incident on the M3 motorway has caused significant disruption for commuters, with hours of delays and a major road closure. The eastbound stretch between junctions J4 and J3 was closed after a vehicle fire, leaving drivers facing travel chaos. The National Highways provided updates, explaining that traffic was initially held while firefighters tackled the blaze, which was initially contained within the trailer. However, the fire reignited, leading to a full road closure. The cause of the fire was a large lorry that caught fire just before 7 am. Emergency services are working to put out the blaze, and Surrey Police have implemented a diversion route. The motorway is expected to remain closed until at least 10 am, causing slow-moving traffic and significant delays. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards on the road and the importance of being prepared for unexpected events. But here's where it gets controversial... Some may argue that the road should have been closed sooner, or that more could have been done to prevent the fire from re-igniting. What do you think?
