TWO lanes of the M4 had to be closed this afternoon after a transporter carrying a Challenger II tank broke down.
At one point the multi-million pound tank was moved off the trailer on the M4 eastbound between Junction 15 (for Swindon East/Marlborough) and Junction 14 (Hungerford) so a puncture could be repaired on the transporter.
