All lanes have now reopened on the M40 near Warwick following a lorry fire.

There have been significant delays around J15 Warwick and J16 Hockley Heath since early this afternoon, as emergency services were called to deal with the articulated trailer blaze.

National Highways has now issued an update saying all three lanes on the northbound carriageway have reopened.

"Thank you for your patience. Please have a safe onward journey," the statement said.
