The queues of traffic are understood to be significant following the blaze.
A car has burst into flames on the M8 near Edinburgh triggering huge queues of traffic.
The incident is understood to have taken place at around 5pm on July 24. It is affecting the westbound carriageway of the motorway, between Hermiston Gait and Newbridge.
In a picture taken by a passing motorist, the front of the 4×4 plush Land Rover is engulfed in thick orange flames, with smoke billowing from the bonnet.
The driver of the luxury motor appears to have managed to get it onto the hard shoulder, reports Edinburgh Live.
However, the feed from a nearby traffic camera shows both lanes gridlocked as far as can be seen.
It is not yet known whether anybody has been injured.
