Traffic is currently backing up on the northbound carriageway of the A1(M) between junctions six and seven after a car caught fire.
Stevenage fire crews are at the scene and are using hoses to put out the blaze. The car is now on the hard shoulder but traffic is still heavy on the approach to the incident.
