A car transporter caught fire on the M1 northbound, sending seven vehicles up in flames after a blown tire ignited the load—three diesel cars and four hybrids. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Firefighters battled the blaze until after 9 PM, closing lanes for hours and causing major delays. It’s a stark reminder of how fast highway chaos can erupt—and how quickly crews must restore safety and flow. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
