UPDATE: 13:50 The road remains closed, but the fire has been extinguished. Recovery and an inspection of the road is now underway.

The A35 in Wilmington, Devon is currently closed in both directions due to a car and caravan fire.

The A35 is one of the main roads into Devon. There is traffic queueing in both directions.
