Passengers planning on flying this morning from Heathrow Airport have been warned of delays after a car burst into flames.
Early reports suggest an electric car was seen in flames inside one of the airport’s tunnels this morning which connects Terminals 1, 2 and 3. The M4 southbound between junctions 4 and 4a was closed as a result of the blaze.
A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said: “Due to an earlier vehicle fire, road access to Terminals 2 and 3 is partially restricted. Passengers are advised to leave more time travelling to the airport and use public transport where possible.
“Latest updates can be found on Heathrow.com and our social media channels. We apologise for the disruption caused.”
