At 8:28am on Tuesday, 17 March, we received reports of a vehicle on fire on the A404M northbound between Holyport and Maidenhead Thicket.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough fire stations were sent to the scene.

Upon arrival, crews found one lorry cab with overheated brakes and wheel bearings.
