REPORTS of a lorry fire near the Dartford Crossing this morning (September 8) proved to be a false alarm.
Firefighters were called to the scene at around 2.30am as the vehicle had a lot of smoke coming from it.
But upon arrival they found the smoke was as a result of the brakes overheating rather than the lorry being on fire.
The crew from Dartford cooled the brakes with water before leaving the scene.
