TWO lorries on the M5 motorway in Worcestershire required assistance from firefighters after their brakes overheated.
At 9.05pm yesterday a Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service crew from Upton used one hose reel jet to cool the brakes of a lorry between junctions eight and seven.
Then at 5.38am this morning crews from Upton, Pershore and Worcester attended an incident involving another lorry with overheated brakes, again between junctions eight and seven of the northbound carriageway.
