Firefighters put out the blaze in the lorry’s exhaust system
The driver of a lorry carrying waste material dialled 999 after the cab of his vehicle became engulfed in smoke.
He was heading along the A4 towards Beckhampton when the drama happened as the lorry headed up the incline from the Fyfield filling station.
Firefighters from Marlborough and Ramsbury attended and found a small fire in the lorry’s exhaust system was responsible for the thick smoke and which they quickly dealt with.
The road remained open.
