A lorry fire caused major disruptions on the roads after the A69 was closed in Northumberland for several hours.

Emergency crews attended the scene on the A69 near Heddon-on-the-Wall after a lorry carrying hay bales caught fire just after 8am on Friday. The road was subsequently closed around 9am and finally reopened at around 3.30pm.

The blaze led to major delays between the A6085 Ponteland Road and the B6528, Horsley. A diversion was put in place via the A6085 and B6528 through Throckley and Horsley.
