Lorry fire on M6

On our way to a funeral in Wales we were a bit delayed on the M6 because a poor lorry driver had a nasty accident when his lorry turned over and caught fire. I don't think any other vehicles were involved and hopefully the driver got out OK. We were on the other carriageway going West so got to the funeral in time but reports on the radio said the southbound carriageway would be closed for several hours.
