    Three lanes were closed on the clockwise carriageway to allow emergency services to deal with the blaze, which happened near Junction 10 for the A3 and Wisley. The incident occurred at around 6:30am this morning.

    A smoke plume above the M25 could be seen several miles away in Byfleet at 6:45am, 15 minutes later. 

    Police and fire crews attended the scene. 

    Surrey Roads Policing Unit said on Twitter: “We are dealing with a vehicle fire and currently have 3 lanes closed while @SurreyFRS are dealing.

    “11 towards 10 also has lane closures due to the fire. Please avoid the area if possible.”
