This worrying video footage of a motorhome combustion has been circling the internet

A motorhome was completely destroyed after it combusted on the M6 early on Sunday afternoon.

The fire, which was supposedly caused by a fault in the engine, quickly spread before the vehicle was left burnt to a crisp.

Bury firefighters came to the rescue and tackled the blaze, but unfortunately the motorhome could not be salvaged.

Thankfully, the owners of the vehicle were able to make a lucky escape and emerge unscathed as they managed to pull over before the motorhome succumbed to the flames.

The incident happened just past Junction 1 and caused huge delays for road users that afternoon.
