TRAFFIC was queuing on the M65 this morning because of a van fire.
Smoke was reported to be blowing across the carriageway between junctions four for Darwen and five for Shadsworth on the eastbound side.
A rolling road block was put in place to allow the fire service to extinguish the flames.
Traffic has now returned to normal.
