This is all that is left of a car transporter which caused chaos when it caught fire on the M5 in Devon today.
The transporter and its cargo of electric cars was totally destroyed in the blaze between junctions 28 and 29 at Cullompton.
National Highways confirmed that the motorway was shut between junction 28 at Cullompton and junction 29 for Exeter and Honiton, near Exeter Airport, from around 8am today.
The motorway was closed in both directions while Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service deal with the incident.
By 11am Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the northbound carriageway was being reopened, while the southbound remained closed. Motorists are advised to follow updates from police and National Highways.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
At lunchtime the Devon and Cornwall Road Policing Team said the fire was out on M5. The north bound carriageway was opening, but the south bound will remain closed pending recovery/monitoring to ensure nothing reignites.
