The van fire inside the Blackwall Tunnel at 12.15pm led to motorists abandoning their vehicles. The blaze was extinguished by 1.20pm, causing significant traffic delays.
A witness described the chaotic scene: 'That was so scary. I was running with my baby.' Thankfully, there were no reported injuries during the incident.
Road congestion extended to Woolwich Road Flyover, affecting traffic in both directions on Blackwall Lane due to emergency response activities.
Emergency services quickly responded, including London Ambulance and various fire crews. However, the patient at the scene declined treatment and was subsequently let go.
