OVERHEATING brakes caused panic for one lorry driver this afternoon.
Fire engines from Tiverton, Bampton and a water bowser from Danes Castle were called to reports of a lorry fire on the A361 between Bolham and Gornhay Cross.
The crew from Tiverton located the lorry in a layby with overheating brakes.
The fire crew cooled the brakes using one hose-reel jet and a thermal image camera.
