Drivers starting the Christmas getaway faced long tailbacks on the M40 as a lorry-load of beer caught fire....
It happened at about 11:30 GMT, closing the southbound carriageway between Cherwell Valley Services and Bicester. Highways England reopened one lane southbound at about 12:40.
Witnesses said bottles of Stella were exploding in the flames.
Eddie Stobart Driver Training tweeted to say the driver of the vehicle was safe.
On Twitter, Helen Smith said "Driver out but bad vehicle fire on M40. Bottles of Stella exploding! Very scary stuff."
