Firefighters hurried to one of the busiest roads in London today after a truck erupted in flames.
Dramatic images of the scene show a pillar of black smoke that rises from behind a bridge on the A406 in Wembley.
The video was placed at 11.37 am and fire engines try to take the fire like huge plumes from the truck container.
The truck cabin was not attached to the container in the clip.
London Fire Brigade confirmed that the eastern road between the pendant Lane and A404 Junctions was closed.
The cause of the explosion is currently unknown, but it has been confirmed that the truck brought scrap.
Directors are advised to avoid the area, because considerable traffic delays are expected.
