TRAFFIC ALERT: Ute fire causing major delays on M1

There are lengthy delays on the M1 after a ute caught fire at Robina.

The driver has managed to pull the Holden ute over to the side of the road.

It’s the latest in a string of incidents on the M1 that has left traffic at a standstill.

An earlier accident at Reedy Creek is also contributing to the delays which stretch back almost to the New South Wales border.
