A lorry fire forced traffic to stop on a major motorway, with ongoing lane closures causing delays.
Traffic was brought to a standstill on the A1(M) southbound near Doncaster after a lorry caught fire.
The incident was reported by National Highways shortly after midday on Monday (Feb 2).
Traffic was stopped between junctions 38 and 37 to allow fire crews to extinguish the blaze, which broke out on the southbound exit slip road at junction 37.
Traffic has since been released, however lane one of two and the southbound exit slip road at junction 37 remain closed to allow recovery operations to continue.
Drivers are being warned to expect delays of at least 30 minutes on the approach.
