Local resident, Chris Isles, said he was around “50 yards” away from the accident on Tuesday and saw black smoke and flames. Less than 20 minutes later the air ambulance was there.” Mr Isles, who captured a photo of smoke billowing into the sky, was driving home and was expected to take only seven minutes to drive from junction 38 to 39, but said he was stuck in “standstill” traffic for around three and a half hours.
